About Lee

I'm a comedian, writer, editor, and humor researcher. With a master's thesis on satirical news and an ongoing PhD on stand-up comedy scandalization, I blend humor with serious study and real-world experience; I previously handled communications and PR for top companies like DeepL and Geek+. I’m now looking for opportunities to create hilarious ad copy, witty campaigns, and engaging scripts.

As a comedian, author, editor and humor researcher, I combine humor with serious research and practical know-how. My master's thesis deals with satirical news, and I am currently working on my doctorate on the scandalization of stand-up comedy. I used to be responsible for communication and PR at top companies such as DeepL and Geek+. Now I am looking for opportunities to write witty advertising copy, clever campaigns and gripping screenplays.
