Francis‘s Money Sucks, Friends Rule tour is coming to an end and news is Bro Safari, Anamanguchi, DJ Hanzel, and several other unannounced guests (rumoured to be Major Lazer, Seth Troxler, and Martin Garrix among others) are soon to join stage with this immensely popular funnyman of EDM. A man who keeps his fans chuckling through his various antics over Snapchat/Instagram/Twitter, Francis reveals to The Village Voice the inspiration behind his sense of humour.
“It’s just me messing around,” Francis says of his character-tropes, who have names like Becky (a stereotypically upper-middle-class, twentysomething white girl) and Treva (a sunglasses-wearing, spoiled Australian teenager with an accent that skews more New Zealand) and Klaud (a fashion critic probably from Central Europe).
The Los Angeles native says he grew up sheltered — he was pretty much only allowed to watch comedies as a kid. “I think during that time Jim Carrey was pretty PG; that was like the main person I was obsessed with when I was younger,” Francis says. “I think that helped a lot with, you know, me just not really caring about what I do and just trying to make people laugh. Because I just enjoy it. It’s one of my favorite things, making people laugh.”
