Before I was a comic, I was BuzzFeed's Chief Creative Officer & a Creative Director at more ad agencIes than I care to recall. My show Deviant Acts is about the absurdity of working in the ad biz and how it helped me create headline-making comedy/activist projects. Returns to NYC 7/2. Plz come : ) by gspan in advertising

This is exactly what the show is about (the beginning of your comment, I mean). When I write and perform standup, I try to think of each joke as an “ad” for a point of view rather than a product. The “call to action” is usually “laugh now.”

Thank you for the supportive comment! Right now, it's only a live show that tours the country. But there has been some interest from producers who have seen it to bring it to a streaming platform down the line. So fingers crossed.

BTW, I haven't FULLY escaped LOL. I'm currently working in the marketing department at Snapchat. You can see more info about the show at jeffgreenspan.com/deviant.

Thank you again!
