Bob Hirschfeld
Satirist of the Modern, Digital Age
The Digital Age is changing the way we work and live. Business can be funny. Very funny in the hands of satirist Bob Hirschfeld as he lampoons time management, branding, customer support, technology and all aspects of office life. His "stand-up with a laptop" presentation has audiences howling with laughter.
Bob's impact online and in person has been profiled in Fast Company, The Washington Post and USA Today. His popular Web site, “Bob's Fridge Door”, has developed a loyal following for his skewed perspectives on news and technology. It was featured in Newsweek and named by both PC and Forbes Magazines as one of the top sites in the world. He is featured as one of the most intriguing personalities on the Internet in the book Net.People. Bob plunged into the online world in 1995 with an interactive daily humor feature for America Online.
His satirical columns have been published for over a decade in The Washington Post, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal. One such column, about a fictitious email virus called "Strunkenwhite,” that supposedly returned messages until all grammatical errors were corrected, was published by newspapers throughout the world and was widely passed around on the Internet as well. For several years, Mr. Hirschfeld was a contributing writer to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
