Ben's eager to impress at his job interview, but on the big day he witnesses a mysterious death and picks up the victim's lanyard – just to keep it safe. What follows is an endless chain of promotions, but who does he work for and what does he actually do?

Dark satire for anyone who's worked in an office, where 'gaining traction' means everything and nothing. Featuring surreal physical comedy, live music, and plenty of useless jargon. Think The Office, but David Lynch is your new boss.

Winner of the Pleasance's Charlie Hartill Fund.

If you would like to make use of the audio-description, please book an AD ticket to ensure we have enough receivers.

The performance of The Unstoppable Rise of Ben Manager on the 17th August will now be a dry run for an audio-described performance as part of a new pilot scheme for audio-described work at the Fringe.

Since the describer needs to be able to see the show, they will be located in the venue in order to provide this description which will be transmitted to those making use of this provision via a radio transmitter. We have put in place soundproofing measures to minimise any disruption for audience members not making use of the description, however due to the Fringe nature of our venues not being purpose built theatres, no solution is 100% perfect. We appreciate your understanding as we strive to explore new and creative ways make our programme accessible to more people.

Accessible concessions available online.
