The Classic presents
JOEL VINSEN in Renaissance Man
Renaissance man(noun): a person with many “talents” or areas of “knowledge”.
How do you navigate a midlife crisis without the income to pull it off?
Armed with only a jazz degree, a bunch of thoughts on topics he’s completely unqualified to tackle, and a Steinberger headless guitar, Renaissance Man Joel Vinsen tries to distract himself from the horror of existence, through dark, absurdly unhinged, and preposterously silly comedy. However, it’s unclear if he’s actually in on the joke.
