"Trying to categorize Mattress, the long-running music project of “the man in the gold suit” Rex Marshall, has always been a little tricky. It's funny, but is it comedy? There are beats, but should you dance? Marshall's memoirella All the Work I Never Wanted may be the easiest concept he's ever floated: It's a “fantastic, enthralling, hardly-embellished” collection of stories about all the minimum wage jobs he held between 1987-2002."
Monét X Change is a drag performer known for comedy, with classically trained opera singing. Her upcoming comedy tour, “High Heels, Bad Knees,” promises unhinged and filthy stand-up about adulting and accepting that many of her joints are serviceable. The tour is scheduled at Revolution Hall with an evening performance and an age requirement. Rex Marshall’s long-running Mattress project has been difficult to categorize, blending elements that raise questions about whether it is comedy or music. His memoir, All the Work I Never Wanted, collects stories from minimum-wage jobs held between 1987 and 2002, including work at McDonald’s, Columbia Sportswear, and a job opportunity that began with an older man waving on SE Hawthorne.
