Brighton Theatre Royal hosts W*nkernomics

James Schloeffel and Charles Firth, the founders of W*nkernomics, will be performing at the Theatre Royal Brighton from Sunday, 1 November 2026, to Thursday, 5 November 2026. Their show is a Q&A-style thought-leadership driven deep-dive into the world of corporate bullsh*ttery, using their unique blend of observational comedy and dark satire to skewer the buzzwords and bureaucracy of modern workplaces.

Schloeffel and Firth have built a reputation as masters of satire, with Schloeffel being the creator of The Shovel, an Australian satire outlet, and Firth being a co-founder of The Chaser, a renowned Australian satirical comedy group. Their debut book, A Deep Dive Into Workplace Bullshittery, became an instant Sunday Times bestseller, and their podcast, launched in September 2026, unpicks real-life examples of corporate waffle.

The show, which has had two sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and over 50 million views online, is presented as a thought-leadership seminar that goes horribly wrong, unpacking corporate jargon with a Q&A format.

With a running time of 75 minutes plus a 20-minute interval, and an age recommendation of 18+, this show is not to be missed by those looking for a hilarious and relatable take on modern workplace culture.
