Ed Surname is a comedian who videotapes his life 24/7 'to share if following a childhood dream is the meaning of life or an unrealistic waste of time'.
Psychoanalysis of why some humans feel compelled to perform comedy is a hallmark of all his work.
He created The StandUp SitDown radio show where he introspected with fellow comedians, the documentary movie Unsolicited Material (2015) was made from his 10000 home videos and he created the videoblogging series Laugh or Cry TV: a real life sitcom with public interactions, exploring the illusion of fame in our society, the role of money in happiness and the personal cost of pursuing artistic ambition.
