Joe Sellman-Leava and Dylan Howells return, with their quest to uncover how the economy wins elections and why the force that dominates our lives is so bloody complicated! Armed with brown bags, an old board game and a pinch of magic, they calculate how their lives have been shaped by the economies they grew up in. Developed with and directed by internationally acclaimed Katharina Reinthaller, and produced by Worklight Theatre (Fringe First winning creators of LABELS and FANBOY), It’s the Economy, Stupid! returns to Edinburgh after sold-out tours in 2024-25.
