Social media has given everyone the power to connect with thousands of people at any given moment. Aiming to use social media to share laughter and positive energy, social media and comedian Mr. Mood Changer keeps creating content to brighten everyone’s moods. 

A resident of Montgomery County, Maryland, Mr. Mood Changer sees comedy as a way to uplift the community and help dispel worries through a simple laugh. Jonathan Mensah, the person behind this persona, chose his comedy moniker intentionally. He explained, “I call myself Mr. Mood Changer because that is what I want to achieve. Every day we are bombarded with issues, challenges, and negativity. But when people see my skits on social media, I want them to have this mood shift. I want them to feel lighter and more joyful after watching me.”

Mr. Mood Changer sees comedy as an easy way to combat stress in people’s day-to-day lives. “I started this career because of the love I have for people,” he said, “And I enjoy putting a smile on everyone’s faces when they go to my page and watch my latest skits.” Even during the pandemic, this comedian has been busy creating new content to keep his audience entertained and lift their spirits. “Of course, I am safely doing everything, but I believe people need this extra source of light and joy,” he said.

With a thriving career as a social media comedian with a clear direction and goal, it isn’t easy to imagine that Mr. Mood Changer was not sure of his identity and purpose in the past. Growing up as the youngest of five siblings, he struggled to figure out who he was under the weight of his family’s expectations. This comedian shared, “Being the youngest; everyone had high expectations of me. It took a while for me to figure out what I could excel in, but once I found comedy, it all clicked.”

In creating the concepts for his skits, Mr. Mood Changer looks to his family and community for inspiration. “My mom is my number one inspiration,” he said, “She is a strong-willed woman who always went the extra mile for her five babies. Her strength gives me faith in myself and in what I can do.” 

Doing comedy is not as easy as everyone seems to think. As a comic, Mr. Mood Changer needs to do his research to make pieces that are relevant to the current times. But aside from being relevant, he has to make each story in his unique style and voice. Not a lot of people can do this kind of work consistently, but this comedian is dedicated to his craft. He said, “There’s a lot going on in this world. And through comedy, I want to help people realize that there is still light in this world.” 

In an effort to be a fountain of positivity for his community and online audience, he plans to work with other comedians in the DMV area. “Collaboration could be great, because I know we can come up with great things to help keep the positivity alive. I want to work with other DMV comedians and then one day expand outside this area,” Mr. Mood Changer said. 

Aside from spreading positivity as Mr. Mood Changer, Jonathan Mensah also established the All In Summer Tour. This is a platform Jonathan created so players across the DMV area can compete against each other in high-level one-on-one games. “Fan favorite basketball players can compete with each other in these games, and the fans can come and watch their sports idols play live,” he explained. 

Jonathan Mensah aims to bring positivity with everything he does, whether as Mr. Mood Changer or through games with the All In Summer Tour. “My ultimate goal is to share good vibes however I can.”
