Everyone has been there at one point or many points in their career with a challenging, unfulfilling, and unnecessary job. The pilot of Get A Real Job is a unique workplace comedy of amateur non-profit fundraisers.

The cast includes Samantha Lochs, Yogi Paliwal, James Adomian (BoJack Horseman, The President Show, Krapopolis), Donald Chang (Search Party, Gotham Knights, High Maintenance), Lola Davis, Christiana Jackson, and Jose Bedoy.

Lochs and Paliwal directed the pilot written by Locks, Paliwal and Ramona Donohue.

Here is the official synopsis:

The successes and failures of amateur non-profit fundraisers Sam and Yogi—this show is a gritty, outrageous, and irreverent intertwining of lives and experiences while working a sales job in the streets of New York City. While navigating the cutthroat world of fundraising they lie, cry, and convince the upper class to donate a dollar a day, 30 bucks a month.

The duo discovers that true challenges and triumphs lie not in the job itself, but in the eclectic and supportive ensemble cast of co-workers they come to cherish. Together, they learn that surviving in “the city that never sleeps” is not just about finding a job that pays well but finding the people who make your youth worthwhile.
