We recently had the chance to connect with The Incomparable Deezil Greezil and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning The Incomparable, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
I’m being called to go bigger with my voice—beyond jokes, beyond entertainment—and actually build systems, spaces, and opportunities that outlive me. I’ve always been comfortable being the funny one, the storyteller, the one who makes people laugh and think. But now I feel called to step into leadership in a real way—teaching, building platforms, creating jobs, and using technology to help my community grow.
Honestly, that level of responsibility used to scare me. Because making people laugh is safe—there’s applause. But building something that changes lives? That comes with accountability, structure, and the fear of failing publicly. But I’m not running from it anymore. I’m walking toward it with intention.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is The Incomparable Deezil Greezil — comedian, author, music producer, and one of the founders of Life Is Funny Entertainment.
I blend comedy, storytelling, and culture to show people that healing and laughter can exist in the same sentence. My brand isn’t just about jokes — it’s about turning real life into art, whether that’s through stand-up, children’s books, music projects, or AI-powered creative education.
What makes my work unique is that I don’t just entertain — I build. I create books, digital courses, live experiences, and tech-driven tools that help people laugh, learn, and level up. I went from telling jokes in small rooms to publishing books, producing music, teaching AI literacy, and still making crowds holler with laughter on stage.
Right now, I’m expanding my gifts into a full creative ecosystem — comedy, kids media, empowerment content, AI education, and even custom merch. It’s all rooted in one mission: to prove that you can be from the neighborhood and still build something global, meaningful, and unforgettable.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
One moment that reshaped my whole perspective was when I realized that being talented wasn’t enough—systems, discipline, and purpose had to follow.
I was on stage one night, getting laughs like always, but afterward I went home to bills, chaos, and no real structure. That’s when it hit me—I wasn’t failing because I lacked talent, I was failing because I lacked a system. That moment flipped the switch for me.
It made me see the world differently. I stopped viewing success as luck or “being discovered.” I started seeing it like a machine—inputs, outputs, discipline, consistency, and the courage to build something even when nobody’s clapping yet. That one shift took me from just being funny to being intentional—with my voice, my art, my business, and my purpose.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me things success never could—mainly that strength isn’t built on applause, it’s built in silence.
Success will make you feel seen. But suffering? That’s what makes you see yourself.
It taught me:
• Discipline over motivation. Pain doesn’t care if you feel inspired—it forces you to move anyway.
• Humility. When life humbles you, you stop judging people’s stories and start honoring their survival.
• Faith in the unseen. Not everything grows where people can watch. Some of the best parts of me were grown in the dark—when nobody was clapping, nobody was watching, and quitting felt easier than continuing.
Success never forced me to develop character—suffering did. Success taught me how to perform. Suffering taught me how to endure, rebuild, and stay human.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My closest friends would tell you that I care about three things—purpose, people, and legacy.
They know I’m serious about using my gifts to make people laugh, think, and grow. But more than that, they’d say I care about making sure my work actually means something—whether it’s creating opportunities for others, inspiring the next generation, or leaving something behind that outlives me.
They’d also tell you I care about loyalty and authenticity. I don’t do fake. I don’t switch up in different rooms. I want to see my people win, and I’ll push them just as hard as I push myself.
At the end of the day, it’s purpose over popularity, impact over attention, and legacy over ego—and the people closest to me know that’s exactly how I move.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What will you regret not doing?
I’ll regret it if I don’t fully build what I see in my head.
Not the jokes, not the shows—those are parts of it. I mean the full vision: the books, the studios, the schools, the stages, the opportunities for other people who never get a shot. If I leave this world with the blueprint still in my mind instead of built in real life—that’s the regret.
I don’t want to be the person who almost did it. Who talked about it, dreamed about it, but never structured it, funded it, or launched it. I’ll regret not taking the risks. Not betting harder on myself. Not using my voice to open doors for people coming after me.
So if there’s anything I’m running toward right now, it’s making sure I don’t die with potential still in me.
