Wankernomics 2.0 – As Per My Last Email

Comedy • Stand-up
Australia • World Premiere

After an acclaimed 2023 debut, overpaid consultants James (from The Shovel) & Charles (The Chaser) have an all-new show about navigating workplace hell. Learn how to outmanoeuvre your colleagues with nothing more than an obnoxious Linkedin profile, a passive aggressive email & the phrase ‘circle back’.

Wankernomics took the Fringe by storm last year, with its wince-inducing, hilarious look at the way we conduct ourselves at work. Wankernomics 2.0 is a must-see for anyone who's endured the bureaucracy, banality, buzzwords & bullshit of the working world.

Praise for Wankernomics

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

★★★★★ "Unmissable!" The Weekender Herald

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

Presented by: The Anti-Experts

Charles Firth (The Chaser) and James Schloeffel (from The Shovel) 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 become two of the country’s most accomplished satirical comedians, writing and performing sold-out shows across the country with their unique brand of biting satire and political comedy.

In 2022 James and Charles started Wankernomics, a survival guide for the working world that has helped everyday Australians navigate the bullshit, banality and buzzwords of office life. Their new show "Wankernomics 2.0 - As Per My Email" debuts at the Adelaide Fringe in February.
