Mike Farah (Funny or Die) On Online Comedy (Just For Laughs)

Mike Farah (Funny or Die) discusses the state of online comedy, its direct relation to the progression of technology and how comics are now using these tools to help their careers.

Mike was at the Just for Laughs Comedy Conferences as a panelist to discuss how web and video platforms are ultimately changing the landscape of comedy. As the President of Production at Funny or Die, Mike is on the front lines of new media and one of the driving forces behind the growth and evolution of transmedia. iThentic was lucky enough to get the opportunity to sit down and speak with Mike about the festival, comedy, new media, YouTube culture, and where he sees the industry shifting to in response to technology today.
