Charles Firth (from The Chaser) and James Schloeffel (from The Shovel) are joining forces to provide a masterclass in the ancient art of lying. From political messaging to corporate deception, they'll show you how to bullsh*t your way through the trickiest situations life can throw at you. 

Charles and James are the brains behind two of Australia’s most popular satirical websites. For the past five years they've performed together to sold-out audiences across the country, with their unique brand of biting satire and political comedy. 

Praise for previous shows: 

★★★★ “Side-splitting … a cut above” The Advertiser 

★★★★ “An onslaught of razor-sharp insights and sardonic satire” The Barefoot Review

★ “I’ve engaged lawyers” Christian Porter 

Presented by: The Chaser.com.au and The Shovel

Charles Firth and James Schloeffel are the brains behind two of Australia's most popular satirical websites. In 2016 they put aside their competitive differences to perform together in a one-off show in Sydney. Something clicked. Since then they’ve written and performed sold-out shows across the country with their unique brand of biting satire and political comedy.

In 2020 they co-wrote and performed in the hugely successful ‘War on 2020’ video series, including QAnon Anonymous and Margaret & David’s iconic review of the year. Unfortunately they’ll be most remembered as the two idiot men in the Contact Tracies sketch.

With an election brewing, James and Charles have fired up their bullsh*t metres and are at the top of their game. Expect a hilarious hour of satirical comedy.
