About Bob Hirschfeld
Self-proclaimed “Cybersatirist” Bob Hirschfeld initially made his mark with a popular humor web site awarded a prestigious Top 100 by PC Magazine. He followed this by establishing himself as a business satirist and was profiled in USA Today and The Wall Street Journal for his success.
That’s why companies like Forbes, Microsoft, Honda, Shell, Cox Communications, the National Association of Homebuilders and hundreds of others have booked Bob for 15 years to bring laughter to their conferences. No matter what field of business, Bob will work closely with clients to make his customized presentation a highlight of your event with smart, witty, appropriate humor for your business audience.
Bob Hirschfeld’s humor has appeared in Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and USA Today. For several years, he was a contributing writer to Jay Leno for “The Tonight Show.” Jay calls Bob “one of the top satirists in the country.”
Funny Business: A Satirical Look at Corporate Life
Professional speaker Bob Hirschfeld takes a new and unique look at the corporate world: Doesn’t it seem the world of business is drowning in “solutions,” getting burned with “branding,” and inducing insomnia at meetings with “Powerpointless?” Do you continually feel trapped by a “mouse?” Hirschfeld’s “standup with a laptop” presentation includes interactive parodies, an irreverent history of business and technology and a look at future trends in the workplace. He offers hysterical tips on time and information management. Hirschfeld even envisions business scenarios such as if Ben Franklin had to request a kite, string, and key from the purchasing department.
