He's been called the first dotcomic. Mike Daisey is here from Seattle to tell us about his time at Amazon.com. Recruited at the height of the dotcom boom, Daisey fell for the company's vision of the new economy. Now, his solo show assails the dehumanising, get-rich-quick corporate mindset. There's nothing political about Daisey's perspectives; Michael Moore he ain't. But this is a penetrating and ebulliently performed account of one man's realisation that life in big business is a contradiction in terms.
Take customer service. It exists, confesses Daisey, "to protect management from people like you". He reprises the spiel from his own days answering Amazon's phone, and it's painfully familiar. "I understand. I empathise. Let me tell you what we're going to do." There's also a wicked caricature of his manager, Tina. But soon our hero is moving on up, after a successful interview ("Discuss the feminine aspects of God, using only verbs") for a position in business development.
All this success, then, "and I still don't know how to do anything", says Daisey. And that's his point. The dotcom boom is a confidence trick. And the glitter of a successful business career is not gold. There aren't any big surprises here - although Daisey's words probably ring more blasphemous to American ears. The show's chief pleasure is the exuberant relish with which Daisey spoofs the glazed-eye fanaticism of life in the rat race. Empty that shopping basket now.
