About me
Hey there, I’m Reese! Whether you’re here because you’ve seen me on YouTube, watched me perform stand-up comedy or because you wanted to stalk me, welcome! The main things you’ll find on this site are:
1) A newsletter you can (and should) sign up for (I’m not biased, I promise). I basically use this newsletter as a way to connect with the people who like my work. I answer your questions, share any interesting ideas or thoughts I’ve been having and update you on any new developments in my work or life. As a small bribe, if you subscribe, I’ll send you a free copy of a book I wrote on the meaning of life at the wise old age of 18 (for you to laugh at).
I will usually only ever send one email a month and will never spam. If after you subscribe, I’m annoying you, you can unsubscribe anytime.
2) Videos, in the form of either funny vlogs or interviews, I’ve made documenting my life at Cambridge University (from October onwards). If you want to check out my YouTube channel, click here.
3) A collection of articles I wrote in my younger years covering topics like wellbeing, philosophy and death (fun times). Although none of them are funny, a lot of you guys have given me very positive feedback on them, so I’ve decided to keep them up.
So now you know what you can find on the site, the rest of this page is essentially going to be me telling you an extremely condensed story of how I got to where I am now. If I were you, I’d personally stop reading at this stage – this story is really very boring. And I’m not just saying that in an attempt to inadvertently encourage you to read on because now you feel compelled to see if the story really is boring. I genuinely mean it. I feel like I’m overthinking this. It’ll be fine. I’ll be fine.
Anyway, here we go. I was raised in London surprisingly by two normal parents and spent much of my childhood exceedingly obsessed with achieving stuff – academically, musically, sporting wise – mostly to cover deep rooted insecurity. As I grew older and (arguably) wiser, I began writing articles on mental wellbeing, philosophy and death (fun times) which people seemed to find useful. I also started a YouTube channel dedicated to helping students with their studies, their mental wellbeing and with bribing their examiners.
Although I got a tonne of positive feedback from students who found the videos useful, one of the main pieces of feedback I received was that the videos made them laugh. That, above all the other stuff, seemed to be one of the main things that stood out and people valued.
Comedy has always been something I’ve enjoyed so I made the decision to close this student channel and focus solely on comedy – both performing stand-up comedy and making funny videos. The old channel, therefore, was replaced with a new channel, which will begin running in October, where I’ll document my life at Cambridge University through comedic vlogs and interviewing interesting people.
