It’s the Economy, Stupid!

developed with Joe Sellman-Leava & Dylan Howells

Joe Sellman-Leava and Dylan Howells embark on a quest to uncover how the economy wins elections and why the force that dominates our lives is so bloody complicated!

Based on a true story of a family caught up in the 90s recession, It’s the Economy, Stupid! is a bold new play from the Fringe First winning creators of Labels and Fanboy, revealing the humanity behind economics. Armed with bags, boxes and an old board game, Joe and Dylan calculate how their lives have been shaped by the economies they grew up in.

Opening at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024 (Pleasance Dome, Jack Dome 13:10pm) & touring the UK in the autumn 2024 and spring 2025.
