How acne made me a comedian | Jake Solomon | TEDxClevelandStateUniversity

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. How pain can be the best thing to happen to you.

A severe acne sufferer, Jake Solomon was put on a controversial medication whose side effects were linked to suicide and depression. After two years of loneliness, embarrassment and treatment - his skin was clear - but he was still unsure of who he was. Enter open mic night at his college. This became a life-changing experience that led to becoming a stand-up comedian.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
