Anyone who has ever had a boss who talks in mixed metaphors, a slightly inappropriate receptionist or a colleague who talks constantly about girls and never seems to get any will instantly relate to Feel Felt Found.

This three man cast takes the audience on a humorous and at some points ridiculous journey through the corporate world. A fairly simple plot is filled out with some strong and comically insightful writing as we follow our protagonist’s rise from unsatisfied baker into the lower echelons of a sales firm and up through middle management on his way to the top.

After a slow start the show finds its feet in the suit wearing, always closing world of sales, with clever writing throwing up a steady stream of laugh-out-loud lines and situations. The humour builds as the plot descends into a final state of mayhem, when good sales techniques are use for evil. And in the end, as always, there is death and taxes.

Ryan Richards anchors the performance, keeping the same character through out while Nic Simpson and Barnaby Fredric play a revolving array of bosses, colleagues, businessmen and IRD agents, often with hilarious outcomes to the frantic costume changes.

The basic nature of the set sometimes gets in the way of character changes however the cast shows an aptitude for seamless improv and creates more laughs from potentially awkward moments.

Nic Simpson produces an especially well presented comedic performance lighting up the audience with waves of laughter, whether spouting a tyrannical rant in unconvincing yet hilarious drag, or dancing as a fiery ginger devil. 

Feel Felt Found is a childlike spoof of all the high drama action movies that create memes, use pop music to simulate emotions and play on simplified notions of good and evil. 

A ridiculous romp of an hour, it parodies the corporate world where money is god, morality is subjective and nuclear weaponry is considered lucrative no matter what the human cost.

Subterfuge, sabotage and homoerotic sexual tension (and lots of use of the word ‘fuck’) …

Ryan Richards sweetly delivers his role of sales newbie, lured in by the prospect of wealth (a raise of .50 from his previous position at a bakery) to become deeply embedded in an office run off the rails by his money hungry boss (played by Nic Sampson) and co-worker / bestest (sic) friend ever (played by Barnaby Fredric).

Sampson is all bluster and slightly less wit than usual as the corporate boss. Fredric shifts gear meaningfully between characters and offers some quite tentative and loving moments in the undercurrent of homosexual tendencies between co-workers.

Lots of laughs for those that way inclined and Sampson does provide some wonderful snippets of conversation as a variety of prospective customers being called upon to invest in what’s ultimately a losing scheme.

Accompanying Sampson’s impersonations are some well-intentioned gags that sometimes hit home as well as some enjoyable choreography but overall the play comes off as a bit of a high school effort.
