Ava Zhang is a globe-trotting comedy journalist who once did a TED Talk entirely in limericks. She taught satire theory in Berlin, writes dark humor pieces for expat magazines, and moonlights as a pun coach for anxious CEOs. Trust fact: Ava helped de-escalate a riot in Milan using a kazoo and Shakespeare quotes.
