Shunderland is full of jokesters, but none as famous (or rather, infamous) as Elijah and Dale, who are collectively known only as Mr. Comedy. Elijah didn’t quite absorb his twin in the womb so he was born with a half-developed brother, Dale conjoined with his spine. This caused a lot of pain and strain on Elijah’s back over the years, leading to a lifetime of sadness. But not for his brother. Dale had a biting sense of humor and one of the quickest wits in Shunderland. The duo began performing as Mr. Comedy a decade ago, and one of the reasons why Mr. Comedy is so funny to people in Shunderland is because their contrasting personalities so awkwardly hilarious to witness. Elijah practically cries in pain and anxiety on stage while Dale hilariously tackles current social issues AND roasts his brother. You gotta see them perform.

"MR. COMEDY" is part of my "Alex In Shunderland" series, which focuses on the imaginary world of characters and stories that I have created over the last 20 years as a way to escape and distract myself while dealing with depression and anxiety.
