Now, Australia’s favourite workplace wankers are ready to push the envelope even higher with a brand new show: Show_v4.1_Final_USETHIS, the file name James gave the show’s script, but which Charles accidentally thought was the show’s name and put on the poster without checking first.
Described as a Q&A-style thought-leadership best-in-class deep-dive, the show will unpack the many ways corporate bullshittery is taking over the world, and your life.
From endless meetings and pointless mission statements to Linkedin Influencers and the word ‘synergies’ the working world is awash with bullshit. Now it’s spreading, meaning you need to set up an account, download an app and answer a survey just to buy a pair of socks.
James Schloeffel said, “Wankernomics Show_v4.1_Final_USETHIS is more than a show; it’s an invitation to explore ideas and unlock value. I have no idea what that means, but hopefully it sounds impressive”.
Charles Firth said, “I’m pretty maxed out on bandwidth right now, can I circle back with a quote by COB?”
Touring Australia between March and May 2026, Show_v4.1_Final_USETHIS promises to be another laugh-out-loud, cathartic, that’s-exactly-what-happens-at-my-work live show experience not to be missed.

About Wankernomics
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 theatres across Australia and the UK, and becoming one of the highest-selling shows at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe.
Their 2025 debut book – “A Deep Dive Into Workplace Bullshittery” – became an instant Sunday Times bestseller.
