Stand-up Economics

David McWilliams is about to take to the stage but he ain’t getting out of Dodge, The Sunday Times reports.

The foppy-haired economic commentator who coined such iconic Celtic Tiger characters as Breakfast Roll Man and Miss Pencil Skirt, is in talks with The Abbey Theatre about a stage play based on the boom and bust of the economy.

“It’s more of an event than a play,” one source told the newspaper. “It’s stand-up economics in the style of Garrison Keillor.”
