I’m Youssef, a copywriter who, no matter what, always tries to make jokes.
Although still failing as a stand-up writer, I haven’t yet given up on writing as I decided to use my “humoristic” skills in copywriting.
Much to my mum’s disappointment, I love travelling. Much to my own disappointment, I am the only person who manages to look unattractive with a guitar in his hands, maybe because mine looks like a children’s toy. Who would have thought that size DOES matter?
Now that you witnessed how unfunny I can be, you can either get me a gig in a poorly lit stand-up bar or save an audience from an awkward show by hiring me as a copywriter.
