BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, October 17, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Terry Young is a public figure who has worn many hats throughout the course of his storied career. Terry is now turning his attention towards seriously achieving his goals as a stand-up comedian. Terry would like to use his hard work and dedication as a comic to release a full length comedy DVD called Mississippi Funk. A skilled actor and writer, Terry draws upon his vast experience when he is on stage performing improv comedy. All of these performances come from a lifetime of incredible yet true stories Terry has amassed over the course of his life. And his stories about life in Mississippi are relatable to many of us who grew up either in the country or without much money. Terry’s comedy reminds us all of the phrase “it’s funny because it’s true”.

In addition to Terry’s performing ability, he is also an accomplished producer and filmmaker. His work has included producing an American Frenzy Film LLC. It is these skills which Terry can draw on in compiling his own comedy DVD. There is no doubt that the trademarked “Mississippi Punch” will achieve great success if given the opportunity and leave his audiences wanting more. All Terry wants is the chance to prove that he is the undisputed heavyweight champion of comedy. As a born fighter, Terry has the will to excel.

A tough man who was forced to lead a tough life, Terry Young experienced a great deal of success and notoriety in his decade long career as a boxer. Terry even competed in the world’s most famous arena Madison Square Garden in New York City. It is a well-known fact to fight fans everywhere, being a strong enough boxer to fight at Madison Square Garden stands for something. It means that no matter what a boxer chooses to pursue, or what titles they win, they will always be a quality fighter. And much like Manny Pacquiao, Terry is even a talented singer.

Terry is a true humanitarian that has supported multiple different causes. The Terry Young Foundation has spent countless time offering volunteer support to the AIDS Walk New York. In fact they have worked hard to support the Walk for over 20 years. In addition to this tireless work Terry has also found the time to support other worthwhile charitable initiatives. One example of a deserving charity which Terry has supported is the Alliance for Lupus Research. Terry has done all that he can to help with this cause for over 10 years. In addition to his volunteer work Terry has received a Certificate of Achievement from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. All of these accomplishments have come from a really difficult beginning to Terry’s life. Terry Young’s story is a triumph over the odds. Terry left home at the young age of 15 and followed his dreams despite having the odds stacked against him. As a poor black adolescent from the dirt road in Mississippi, Terry really does have a lot of truth to draw from. He has been fighting to prove himself up and down American roads and highways for decades as both a boxer and a comedian.

To support Terry’s current dream of bringing his stand-up comedy to DVD, he has launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. This campaign will run until November 5th. In addition to the improv DVD, Terry hopes to one day land a television show or have a special with a high profile network like HBO. This level of exposure would allow the entire world to learn about life in Mississippi and a whole lot about living in the state itself. It is also true that Terry’s gritty and difficult life turned into an uplifting improv comedy special would be material fit for a late night special. There are rewards associated with this crowdfunding effort:

$1 – A thank you for donating to help make the independent film and present it at film festivals
$10 – An opportunity to watch one DVD movie through digital download

Everyone is encouraged to watch the hilarious video on Terry Young’s Kickstarter crowdfunding website. This is just a taste of the funny and unbelievable stories that come from the Mississippi punch.
