Andros Hermez, a talented actor, began since the nineties to present comedic scenes and sketches as a critical method for social appearances that he recorded on CD, then put them on the Internet to reach larger number audience.


We asked Mr. Andros about his beginnings and he said, from a young age he is fond of comedy, adding that he believes that there are problems and difficulties in life that we can understand more through comedy.

Andros stressed that it is easy to make people laugh about simple things, but I deal with deep topics we encounter in life and present them in a comic form.

He also said that he wrote plays and sketches when he was 16 years old in Syria, and when he studied at the university in Aleppo, he formed a troupe with other students and they were presenting the critical comedy scenes that he wrote.

Regarding his choice of scenes, he said that he draws them from real life.
