Short introduction of standup comedians

Jan David Kljenak is a stand-up comedian who is more fiery than the flames he encounters every day as a firefighter. When he's not fighting fires, he's usually with his family. He loves to swim, but not more than 4 meters from the shore for fear of stepping on an urchin. Once he stepped on an urchin and it was not good.

Benjamin Kovač Keber a comedian who does stand-up out of pure love for laughter, comedy and life. He makes short, funny jokes and hilarious dissections of reality.
