Wage Against The Machine

Presented by Matthew Harvey and STATE OF PLAY

Join award-winning comedian, and storyteller, Matt Harvey (The Shovel, The Shot) as he talks about the jobs he no longer needs to worry about being fired from.

Wage Against the Machine is a tribute to the absurdity of our everyday work experiences and finding the humour in the chaos.


From Robodebt, to wage theft and breaking a 100 year old roller coaster to save the lives of eighteen people is all in a day's work when you earn the minimum wage.

Matt Harvey invites you to punch your time card and join him for Wage Against the Machine; where the daily grind is minimum wage, maximum grief... And the customer is always wrong.
