Wankernomics
ABOUT THE SHOW
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.
