It’s part stand-up show\, part social experiment\, and part excuse to laugh to keep from crying about our jobs. \n​So why has work gotten so damn weird?\n​Somewhere between endless email notifications\, pointless meetings\, heartless layoffs\, and pretending we’re all fine\, we’ve forgotten something pretty important: \n​We’re more than our jobs. \n​The most fascinating people rarely fit inside one box. \n​The y’re never just their title. \n​Neither are you. \n​They are:\n– ​Sales people who play in a band.\n– ​Soccer coaches who are artists .\n– Engineers who are yoga instructors.\n– ​Teachers who start side businesses. \n​People with passions\, hobbies\, dreams and identities t hat extend far beyond whatever logo happens to be on their W2 paycheck. \n ​And yet\, most of us need to have traditional jobs to pay the bills. \n ​That’s exactly why we’ve created Work Is a Joke. \n​This event is an interactive comedy experience for people who still care about doing me aningful work\, building interesting things\, and meeting dope people\, bu t are completely over the current state of work and all the performative B S that comes with it. \n​This is less of a traditional comedy show and m ore of a social experiment. \n​Some folks will sign up to do a one-minut e stand-up set. Others will never touch the mic. Both are totally fine. \n ​This isn’t about being funny. It’s about showing up\, laughing toge ther\, and remembering that we’re all a little nutty.
