The news of the London run, follows the show’s debut at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2024.
It has been announced that Libby Rodliffe and Isley Lynn’s dark comedy will run at London’s Park Theatre from the 19th November until the 6th December.
Co-written with award-winning playwright Isley Lynn, Jobsworth is inspired by actor and writer Libby Rodliffe’s unbelievable real-life experiences working multiple jobs. It is a show about London in the cost of living crisis and the battle to make ends meet.
Bea’s secretly working three full-time jobs. All at the same time. And she’s still financially f*cked.
Between looking after luxury flats to dogsitting the world’s ugliest pooch, she’s neck-deep in employers and it’s only a matter of time until someone finds out she’s breaking all her contracts.
Armed with nothing but her smarmiest boss’ dirty secret, can Bea get herself out of the red and into the black (and into the fit intern’s bed)? Or will the plates she’s been spinning come crashing down around her and her dysfunctional family?

Talking about the play, performer Libby Rodliffe comments: “Jobsworth is an amalgamation of lived experiences and wild stories, and it’s very personal and something I care about greatly. I want to say that writing it has been a labour of love, because that feels romantic and whimsical, but it’s never actually felt like labour, which is a pretty cool and infrequent luxury.”
