Overview
A stand-up comedy show by Nathan D'Arcy Roberts, presented as a work-in-progress for a forthcoming BBC Radio 4 Stand-Up Special. It looks at how artificial intelligence may reshape working life.
Odd Jobs centres on the question of whether AI's effect on the job market is simply the next industrial revolution or something more far-reaching. Nathan D'Arcy Roberts draws on the strange and striking jobs of earlier eras that technical innovation rendered obsolete, and imagines unusual new roles that might emerge in the future.
The material also draws on the performer's own varied and chaotic employment history, told as a series of anecdotes. The show closes by considering how people might find purpose in a world where work is less central, and argues that even unpleasant jobs can contribute to building character.
This is a stand-up comedy performance, staged in the Aces & Eights Saloon Bar, a venue that hosts live music and other events in London. As a work in progress, the material is being tried out ahead of its broadcast version.
