Meet the Monkey Barrel Team — Amy Matthews!
<p>I sit in an office chair (which is in fact a theatre chair used in the evening for audience members). I book the funny people for our Wednesday show, and deal with the kafka-esque task of managing the Monkey Barrel inbox. (I’d explain the term Kafka-esque to the child, as it will prove useful for them in later life). A lot of my job is telling people whose emails have bounced that there are two R’s and one L in ‘barrel’.</p>
<p><strong><em>What’s the best thing about working at Monkey Barrel?</em></strong></p>
<p>Suppose I should be genuine about this really. I honestly really like all the people I work with, both in the office and the acts. Comedy — both the industry side and the performance side — has got a wonderful way of bringing people together who in any other circumstance probably wouldn’t be friends. That’s a fun environment to be in. Examplarily, Nikki and David working in the same space is like watching a mad peacock and a sensible badger try to communicate in the wild — and somehow it works. It’s a melting pot of characters and I think that’s the making of it as a business.</p>
