  • Created and Performed by: Ethical Clone

  • Written by: Tayla Harry and Harry Gabriel

  • Produced by: Dylan Marshall

The coffee machine has stopped working, someone took the last doughnut from the staff room and your boss is an unholy eldritch horror - but that’s just an average day at work, right?

Some people say their job is a nightmare but for these two employees, their jobs have literally become one! Grab your staplers, put on your hazmat suits and join Harry and Teddy as they attempt to climb the corporate ladder to defeat their unruly new boss. Will they live out their 80s movie fantasy, and pull a Maverick, or will they submit to the corporate grind?

Twin duo Ethical Clone dive into your nightmares with this action packed, fast paced comedy show filled with song, dance and maybe even their own demons - both figuratively and literally.

About Ethical Clone

Ethical Clone is a dynamic twin sibling duo taking its first steps in the Naarm creative scene. Developed from their love of interactive theatre, puppetry and all things silly, Tayla and Harry have been performing and creating together since the womb (or rather when they were cloned in an exclusive hidden laboratory). They’re fresh-faced, full-spirited and ready to unleash their clone antics into the world.
