Wankernomics
Show_v.1_Final_USETHIS
With sell-out UK tours, 50 million+ views online and a Sunday Times best-selling book, you could say Wankernomics is smashing it right now. They’d say they’re delivering key outcomes with impact in a fast-paced environment.
Their hilarious new show pushes the envelope even higher, unpacking how corporate bullsh*ttery is taking over the world, and your life.
From pointless meetings and mission statements to endless emails 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 and answer a survey just to buy a pair of socks.
Don’t miss this laugh-out-loud, ‘oh-my-god-that’s-exactly-what-happens-at-my-work’ new show.
Patrons should be advised that this show contains language such as ‘circle back’ and ‘key deliverables’ which may be offensive to some audience members.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
James Schloeffel and Charles Firth are two of the country’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, selling out two UK tours, and becoming one of the highest-selling shows at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe.
Their debut book: A Deep-Dive Into Workplace Bullsh*ttery became an instant Sunday Times bestseller.
Mixing observational comedy with dark satire, Wankernomics’ shows have become a must-see event for anyone who has ever had a job.
Don’t miss their laugh-out-loud, ‘oh-my-god-that’s-exactly-what-happens-at-my-work’ new show.
