“Hey… do you have a minute?” Bad from your boyfriend but worse from your boss. From New York-based standup and viral video comedian—and former tech employee—Alexis Gay, “Unprofessional” is a comedy debut about working (or, uh, not working) in tech, and one very specific 4pm meeting on the second floor of a company we’ll call… Redacted.
Fresh off a critically acclaimed run at Edinburgh Fringe and directed by NYC comedy-scene veteran Matt Gehring, this show explores making work your entire personality, going nowhere on the hedonic treadmill, and worrying so much about your LinkedIn profile that it lands you at the hair doctor.
