Promising Young Mensch

Groundbreaking comedy from a unique voice.

Striking yellow background. In the centre of the image is a 20sish year old man with a face of euphoric bliss, wearing a red hat. Above him are four collaged versions of himself playing cricket with odd expressions. The effect looks like a bouquet of flowers exploding out of the mans head.
A man in his 20s wearing a big red dumb hat is bouncing a table tennis ball on a bat. He has a grimace plastered across his face.
