“Spears’ words flow at lightening speed, are often eloquent, and always funny.....his rage is a riot.”
From the show Name-Tag Blues, written and performed by Shane "Scurvy" Spears
“NAME-TAG BLUES should be required viewing by every American employer and CEO. There is no better everyman to tell the true story of the workaday American”
True tales from the joe-jobs of an angry working stiff; from the cash register trenches of the American retail wasteland to the oubliettes of telemarketing grind pits, a comedic journey through one mans dissonance with the punch clock.
Go behind behind the name-tag with interviews gone wrong,bosses given the finger, drug tests thwarted, resumes embellished, customers offended and the ups and downs of getting hired, fired, used, abused, subdued and unglued in a solo tribute to the plight of the proletariat schmuck.
In these times when we face the psychotic machinations of toddler-like dictators and the horde of defective mutants that follow them and all seems uncertain as if the whole world as we know it was teetering on the edge of some precipice, we should all know how to properly pad your resume' in times of strife.
“Imagine... a Slam poet on cocaine... Or Dennis Leary in his prime... Or a younger, thinner San Kinnison... Or an angry pitbull that became a real boy... and you have a slight idea of what you will get from this fast paced, hysterically witty, master of the English language.”
