The Comedian With A Lisp

More about the book

HAVING A LISP IS A PROBLEM. Every time you speak people laugh at you. They don't seem to care that it hurts your feelings. I mean, what can you do when - despite your best effort - you are just not able to say that 'ess' sound? My name is Letsema and I have a lisp. There are these kids at school who like to draw attention to my lisp by engaging me in meaningless conversation. They will taunt me until I relent, if I choose to ignore them. So, I decided to become a comedian. If I am also laughing at myself, then the hurt will be negated. I pour over material on YouTube to find jokes that have not become popular yet, and I modify them a little so as not to plagiarise them.Let's face it; I am bound to be a sensation, because my lisp is guaranteed to have people laughing even if my jokes are not funny. But - of course - I am a stickler for perfection, and that means I must always be at the top of my game.
