Dr. Ruth meets WIRED by way of the NYC startup community....at a comedy club.

On April 9th, Funny as Tech will explore the issues around sex and technology and the growing NYC sextech community in its panel show, “Let’s Talk about Sextech.” Special guests for this sure-to-be-memorable night include Bryony Cole (CEO of Future of Sex), Polly Rodriguez (CEO of Unbound), and Mal Harrison (Center for Erotic Intelligence).

Funny as Tech is a live panel show and podcast that tackles the thorniest issues in technology…inside a comedy theater. 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 from our expert panelists. 

“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)
