Tim Robinson’s latest absurdist comedy, The Chair Company, is officially streaming on JioHotstar — and it’s quickly becoming the internet’s new obsession. The show, which premiered on October 12, 2025, takes the chaos of office life to a hilarious extreme, blending satire, surrealism, and razor-sharp humor in only the way Robinson can. Known for his cult hit I Think You Should Leave, the comedian brings his signature brand of awkward, laugh-out-loud absurdity to this all-new workplace conspiracy story.
A Workplace Scandal Turns Into a Wild Conspiracy
At the heart of The Chair Company is William Ronald Trosper, played by Tim Robinson himself — a mild-mannered employee whose embarrassing office mishap sets off a chain reaction of paranoia, cover-ups, and corporate chaos. What starts as a small HR problem quickly spirals into a full-blown mystery that challenges everything William thought he knew about his company… and himself.
From bizarre boardroom meetings to secret basement investigations, The Chair Company turns everyday office politics into a rollercoaster of wit and weirdness. Each episode balances slapstick humor with surprisingly sharp social commentary about work culture, bureaucracy, and modern-day absurdities.
Cast and Crew: A Stellar Ensemble of Comic Talent
Alongside Robinson, the series features a talented ensemble cast that perfectly complements his unique comedic timing.
The lineup includes:
- Vanessa Bayer (Saturday Night Live) as a suspicious HR manager with a secret agenda.
- Tim Heidecker (Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!) as the company’s eccentric CEO.
- Sam Richardson (Veep, Detroiters) in a recurring role as William’s overenthusiastic co-worker.
- Mary Holland (Happiest Season) as the overly optimistic PR head who tries to spin the chaos into a success story.
Directed by Robinson’s longtime collaborator Alice Mathias, the show maintains the fast-paced editing and cringe-inducing humor fans of I Think You Should Leave will instantly recognize.
