The Comedian Tag with Jesse Henry

Inspire. Create. Write.TM

Buenos Dias!

Last year I connected with amazing individuals to interview via twitter. This year it seems Facebook & Instagram have been taking over. Nicole Nicky Naicker shared a powerfully inspiring video that raised awareness & support on important mental health issues. As a fellow advocate, I related very much to what was spoken. So I decided to check out the Facebook page & true to my nature I was very down/low at the time but his videos were so hilarious that I couldn't help but laugh. It was a welcome reprieve to an intense week.

"Laughter is the BEST Medicine."
Despite his awesome following & skyrocketing success, Jesse remains as humble as ever just spreading his unique humor with world.

Meet Jesse Henry

From Durban, KwaZulu-Natal

All Jesse wants to do is make people laugh. Bring them their little dosage of joy and make them forget about their problems for a little while. His ideas need a platform to be shared on and youtube provides him with just that. He battles with a lot of mental illnesses and making videos help suppress his pain and help him relax. Guess you can say its his non-medical therapy.

21. If you had just One message, One Golden nugget to share with other comedians/Vloggers out there. What would that be? 

Try to make the world a better place everyday. In order to do that, make people laugh without expecting anything in return. Don’t do it because you can get a big paycheck. Do it because you love it. It will make all the difference
