    Wankernomics 2.0

    After an acclaimed 2023 debut, overpaid consultants James Schloeffel (from The Shovel) & Charles Firth (from 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 pack of Post-it Notes and the phrase ‘circle back’. If you’ve worked in an office, endured a pointless meeting, or been told to “drill down on key learnings and get stakeholder buy-in”, this is the show for you. Wankernomics 2.0 is the much-anticipated follow-up to Wankernomics 1.0, which took the comedy world by storm last year with its hilarious, wince-inducing look at the way we conduct ourselves at work.  More info...

    Guy Montgomery

    I don’t actually have 50,000,000 fans but last weekend in Wellington a guy on mushrooms came up to me and said “Am I supposed to know who you are?” which might not sound like much but he wasn’t doing it to everyone. My name is Guy Montgomery and I’m still getting better. As seen on Thank God You’re Here, Have You Been Paying Attention? and YouTube. “One of Oceania’s premier observational comedians.” – The Age “… there are few better at combining oddity with punchlines.” – Chortle Winner of Best of Fest, Sydney Comedy Festival 2023 Winner of the Fred Award (Best Show), New Zealand International Comedy Festival  More info...
