Some people work for money. Others work to feel fulfilled. Some don’t work at all. For 20 years, London performance artist Katy Baird has been on the frontlines of the service industry, serving up everything from Whoppers to phone sex. WORKSHY is an intimate, autobiographical, humorous, turbulent and slightly adult look at a precarious existence between art and wage labor.
