About this event

With two sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, 50 million+ views online and a Sunday Times best-selling book, you could say Wankernomics is crushing it right now. They’d say they’re delivering key outcomes with impact in a fast-paced environment. Their hilarious new show is a must see: A Q&A-style thought-leadership driven best-in-class deep-dive unpacking the many ways corporate bullsh*ttery is taking over the world, and your life. From pointless meetings and mission statements to Linkedin Influencers and the word ‘synergies’, the working world is awash with bullsh*t. Now it’s spreading, meaning you have to set up an account, download an app, set a password and answer a survey just to buy a pair of socks. Wankernomics is here to guide you through it all. Don't miss this laugh-out-loud, ‘oh-my-god-that’s-exactly-what-happens-at-my-work' new show from your favourite workplace wankers. ★★★★★ "Exquisite": Weekend Notes ★★★★ “Meticulously written ... you’d swear they had been spying on every office in the country”: Theatre Travels “The most original show we saw this year”: Nicola G, Edinburgh Artist Bio James Schloeffel and Charles Firth are two of Australia’s most accomplished writers and performers, known for their unique brand of biting satire and political comedy. In 2023 they founded Wankernomics as a way to help ordinary people navigate the modern workplace, and as a way for James to work through his unresolved issues after more than a decade working in the corporate world. Since then, Wankernomics has become something of a phenomenon, notching up over 50 million views online and selling out tours across the UK and Australia. Their debut book: “A Deep-Dive Into Workplace Bullsh*ttery” is a Sunday Times bestseller.
