Renaissance man (noun): a person with many talents or areas of knowledge.
Joel Vinsen has a few talents, none of which are particularly useful. How do you navigate a midlife crisis without the income to pull it off?
Armed with only a jazz degree, a bunch of thoughts on topics he’s completely unqualified to tackle, and a Steinberger headless guitar, Renaissance Man Joel Vinsen attempts to distract himself from the horror of existence, through dark, absurdly unhinged, and preposterously silly comedy. However, it’s unclear if he’s actually in on the joke.
