Charles Firth (from The Chaser) and James Schloeffel (from The Shovel) are the duo behind Wankonomics, the sell-out satire that’s taken over the corporate world from the inside.
In this episode we finally sit down with them as they reveal how their shows draw in office workers and leave managers terrified to ever say words like KPI or synergy again. We pull apart acronyms, offsites, values, and the miracle of turning a North Star into a verb. We talk about how they met, how they became wankers, the grind of touring, and why they tweak every performance by one percent, night after night. We unpack how an all-staff crisis meeting became the frame for their newest show, why Wankonomics feels like therapy for anyone trapped in meetings, and how two Australian comedians built a world-class act out of email jargon and management speak.
