Hello,

…my name is Herries! What’s your name? Haha, what an interesting and pleasant-sounding name I assume, I can’t hear you.

I’m a writer (mostly) but also a filmmaker, comedian and just general-creative-person-guy. You can scroll down for a brief CV or click on the tabs above to see more of my work.

You most likely know me from my daily short-form comedy videos released on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts. With a number of viral hits, including ‘This is a teaspoon’, I have gained over 66 million views and nearly 50,000 followers.
