Weekend Notes
After entirely sold-out runs in Edinburgh & London in 2024, Australia’s favourite workplace wankers are back in Newcastle with a brand-new show.
Delivered in the form of an agonising all-staff meeting, Just Touching Base is a hilarious real-time demonstration of the buzzwords, bureaucracy, banality and bullsh*t of modern working life.
Since launching in 2023, Wankernomics has become something of phenomenon – their blend of observational comedy and dark satire notching up millions of views online. So synergise your stakeholders and pop some time in the diary for a laugh-out-loud, wince-inducing, ‘oh-my-god-that’s-exactly-what-happens-at-my-work’ deep-dive into the working world.
Recommended for ages 15+. Contains occasional course language.
Running time 60 minutes, no interval. Times are approximate and subject to change without notice.
