Character: Finley the Goldfish

Floating mid-air with no visible water source, Finley is the department’s anxiety in physical form. As Safety Coordinator, he narrates every meeting like a suspense thriller and panics at candles, carpets, and casual greetings. Somehow, in real emergencies, he’s shockingly competent. The rest of the time? He’s worried you’re not worried enough.

About Donna Lake

If you’ve ever thought, “How am I the only adult in this room?” you’re among friends. Donna Lake Comic is for the people who keep things moving while everyone else creates new complications. The ones who solve the problem, and keep their actual thoughts safely behind a very controlled facial expression. It’s a sharp, heartfelt office comedy about corporate nonsense, competence fatigue, quiet leadership, and the strange amount of dignity required to function in an increasingly unreasonable workplace. Welcome to Donna Lake.
