​Sometimes work needs to be taken less seriously, and that’s where comedy comes in. Leave your proverbial cubicle to join Mercury and Banana Capital for our second-annual NY #TechWeek comedy show on June 3, 2024. This year, we’re thrilled to present stand-up comedian and podcast host Alexis Gay for a performance of her hit set Unprofessional, about working for (or, uh, not working) in tech, and more specifically, a 4PM meeting on the second floor of a company we'll call... Redacted. Doors open at 6:30pm and the show will begin right at at 7pm.

​Reserve your spot quick — space is limited, and you won’t want to miss the laughs.
