Positive entertainment is a new brand of entertainment where positive energy is used to entertain an audience. It is a scientifically proven strategy, and according to comedian Jonathan Mensah, a.k.a. Mr. Mood Changer, that is what his comedy is about. Although a trained teacher and instructor with a childhood basketball dream, the world is coming together for Mr. Mood Changer thanks to his ability to leverage on situations.
Mr. Mood Changer is a stand-up comedian, entertainer and skit maker. He was considered effortlessly funny thanks to his sense of humor and ability to raise any audience and make them laugh. According to Jonathan, his brand of comedy is known as positive entertainment. It is an integral part of the entertainment industry because it is coming when the world has become sensitive to almost every issue, and comedians are treading carefully with their jokes to avoid striking a chord or making anyone uncomfortable.
The decision to go into comedy for Jonathan stemmed from growing up in a supportive environment where his parents and family motivated him to go for whatever brings him fulfillment and happiness. Mensah recalls a series of conversations with his mother, which ended with her pushing him to be the best he can and not stop believing in his abilities. Comedy thus came from his ability right from childhood to make people laugh and change the mood of everyone around him, no matter how tense the situation is, earning him the nickname Mr. Mood Changer.
A resident of Montgomery, Mr. Mood Changer, understands the weight of stress hanging on everybody’s shoulders and the benefits of having a good laugh and a chance to rewind and forget their burdens, even momentarily. To him, his comedy persona is an opportunity to make someone laugh when they need it most. He explains: “I call myself ‘Mr. Mood Changer’ because I want people around me (and everyone) to feel like something lighter has been lifted off their shoulders.”
“I started this career because of my love and enjoyment from making others laugh,” He said when asked about the inspiration behind comedy skits on Facebook videos or through live performances at local clubs across Canada. Described as a hardworking creative, Mr. Mood Changer was one of the few comedy stars who, despite the raging pandemic, kept creating content to keep their fans and essentially everyone who was holed up at home entertained and sane throughout a period considered as one of the darkest in human history.
As part of his contribution to society, Mood Changer recently introduced the All-In Summer Tour, where players across D.C can compete against each other for high-level one-on-ones games that will be streamed live.
“Fan favorite basketball stars are given an opportunity of competing with their sports idols and showing off their skills,” he said. “The crowd comes out every time they’re playing just because it feels like there isn’t anything else this city loves more than its hoops.”
At the top of Jonathan Mensah’s (Mr. Mood Changer) bucket list is bringing smiles and happiness to people’s faces and regardless of the challenges or difficulty the world is going through, he hopes to be able to keep up with it.
