The A to Z of Clueless Experts is a web series written, directed by and starring Collene Webb.

She stars as Cadenza Lane - an eccentric millennial going through a "quarter-life crisis". Faced with unemployment, she signs up for a strange course that has her testing out different careers.

Each episode is done vlog style, with Cadenza trying out a different career each time.

Tropes:

  • Alphabetical Theme Naming: As the title suggests, each episode goes in alphabetical order of a career that starts with the corresponding letter.
  • Basement-Dweller: She's a twenty-five year old still at home, although the point of the series is that she's trying to escape this.
  • Berserk Button: Cadenza is very annoyed when the application form labels her a 'ginger'.
  • Brief Accent Imitation:
    • In "Bodyguard", Cadenza adopts a Liverpool accent for her bodyguard career.
    • In "Director of Photography" she puts on an East London accent.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Cadenza is this through and through, outright saying she doesn't shy away from weirdness.
  • Fiery Redhead: Downplayed as Cadenza is more eccentric, but when she gets going her energy comes out.
  • Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each episode is named after the career Cadenza tries out.
  • Incoming Ham: Each intro lets you know what madness you're in for.
  • Kubrick Stare: Cadenza dishes these out quite often.
  • Lame Pun Reaction: In "Archaeologist" Cadenza lampshades the bad pun of referring to the word as 'ground-breaking'.
  • Redhead In Green: "Technology Is A Funny Thing" has Cadenza spending the whole episode in a green hoodie.
  • This Is Gonna Suck: Cadenza has this reaction to the course she's taking.
  • Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: Justified as Cadenza is testing out different careers.
