What do you do?

I make funny films and videos, and I write and tell jokes.

Why?

I'm constantly buzzing with funny ideas and thoughts. Being creative and executing on concepts gives me a sense of achievement and well-being. Making people laugh makes me feel good and accepted -- and like I'm adding value to the world.
