Charles Firth (The Chaser) & James Schloeffel (The Shovel) in … Wankernomics

The brains behind two of Australia’s most popular satirical outfits are back with an all-new comedy show about work-life hell. Charles Firth (from The Chaser) and James Schloeffel (from The Shovel) are joining forces to lift the lid on the inner workings of a system that has brought us endless meetings, excruciating corporate mission statements and most annoyingly of all, the phrase ‘circle back’.

Audiences will learn how to eliminate clear communication from their conversation style, how to win in meetings by being passive aggressive, and how to shift attention from a wage scandal with an inspiring mission statement. Plus much more!

Delivered as a 60-minute MBA that you can add to your LinkedIn profile later, this show is for anyone who’s worked in an office, sat in a pointless meeting, or done a small vomit in their mouth upon hearing the words: “let’s drill down on our key learnings so we can get strategic stakeholder buy-in”.

Praise for Wankernomics

Fresh from successful runs at the Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne Comedy Festival, critics are raving about Wankernomics:

★★★★★ “Exquisite … leaves you in equal parts stitches and torment” Weekend Notes

★★★★★ “Wickedly clever satire” On The Record

★★★★ “Hilarious” Hi Fi Way

★★★★★ “An omni-channel deep dive into best-practice comedy” some wanker
