Developed with and Directed by Katharina Reinthaller

Following a sold-out Edinburgh Fringe and critically acclaimed UK tour, Joe Sellman-Leava and Dylan Howells return to Soho Theatre.

‘Smart, sharp writing… Deftly blends the personal with the political‘
★★★★ Natasha Tripney, Stage

Using an old board game, projection-mapping and a pinch of magic, Joe Sellman-Leava and Dylan Howells uncover how the economy wins elections, dominates our lives, and why it’s so bloody complicated!

Winner: Best Actor & Best Supporting Actor
DarkChat Edinburgh Awards 2024

It’s the Economy Stupid! combines a true story of a family caught up in a recession, with the economic forces that led the world from post-war boom to housing and cost-of-living crises.

Surprising, moving and funny (we promise!), this is a bold new show from the Fringe First winning creators of Labels and Fanboy.
