Satirist
Satirist
This storyteller is a bit of a rebel who disrupts the status quo and loves every minute of it! Whether they like it or not, this person is usually talented and effective in playing politics, but has dealt with their share of ups and downs in life giving them plenty of story material to go around. Often misjudged, the satirist is often seen as either "too blunt" or "facetious". Either way, they don't care as long as their point is made.
Your style: stand-up comedian or pushing the sardonic agenda.
