Why Is Tech So Lousy with Women?! Funny as Tech LIVE Show

On Feb 13th, Funny as Tech will explore: Why Is Tech So Lousy with Women?! at the Peoples Improv Theater (123 E. 24th Street)! Special guests for this tech-comedy panel show include Amanda Henning (culture writer at Mashable), Jumana Abu-Ghazaleh (founder & CEO of betwixt.us), and Kimberly Gray (founder & CEO of Uvii).

Funny as Tech is a live panel show and podcast that tackles the thorniest issues in technology. Co-hosted by tech ethicist David Ryan Polgar and comedian Joe Leonardo, Funny as Tech has featured guests including Douglas Rushkoff, Manoush Zomorodi, Chuck Nice, Nir Eyal, Bridget Carey, Baratunde Thurston, CNET’s Bridget Carey, Foursquare’s Dennis Crowley, and CNN’s Laurie Segall.

Join us for this freewheeling panel show where the guests let loose. It is a wonky night out where you can both learn, laugh, and ask questions. There will also be a book giveaway (3 copies) of Douglas Rushkoff’s new book, Team Human. This event is being co-produced by the Ethical Tech Meetup.

“Those who like their comedy on the nerdy side will find just that in the blend of tech and jokes that this show and podcast provides.”-The New York Times

“While shifts in technology now affect all of us, they’re usually discussed in the ivory tower or at industry conferences. Like any subject involving niche expertise, future speculation and no clear-cut answers, it’s hard to make entertaining. A show like Funny As Tech presents an alternative: an expert who quotes studies from PricewaterhouseCoopers with a comedian who can make it digestible on the fly.” -Engadget (Chris Ip)

“[A] mixture of deep thoughts and belly laughs as writer and technology ethicist David Ryan Polgar shoots the breeze with comedian Joe Leonardo…”-Irish Times
