The Lion’s Comedy Philosophy

The purpose of @LIFUTHELIONCOMEDY is to make a positive impact on the world that lasts forever.

People don’t read anymore. If I sent an 1 page article with 300 words to 100 of my friends, maybe only 4-5 of them would actually read it.

BUT!

If I send a 1 minute TikTok or Instagram Reel to somebody they will most likely watch it.

So one day I realized,

I realized that if I can make people laugh, but also get them stop and think for a second, I can make an impact.

Hopefully that thought starts a conversation.

In comedy they say, “50% of the people should be rolling on the floor laughing, and 50% should hate your guys”

This is because there is Truth behind every joke and The Truth can hurt.

WHAT THE LION DOES FOR FUN

Lifu works a lot, but he also likes to have fun like everybody else.

In his free time, he enjoys playing basketball, sometimes going to the gym, eating at restaurants with friends, staying fly at all the time, and enjoying New York City Nightlife.

$$ – Koku Ramen

Everybody likes ramen. I’ve eaten here 8-9 times with different friends everytime, and they all really enjoyed their meal.

Start with Appetizers like Chicken Buns, Takoyaki (Fried Octopus Balls), and Fries.

Enjoy Ramen with Pork, Chicken, or Tofu. You can choose your spice level.

The service is good, the ambience is really fun, and the conversations always flow whenever I come here to teat.

The Food usually comes out 15-20 minutes after you order. That is pretty quick service.

$$$ – BCD Tofu House

If a friend is visiting New York and wants some Korean Food, I bring them here.

Enjoy Pork, Beef, Seafood, and Tofu Dishes (for my Vegetarian folks). On a cold day, enjoy their Signature Soon Tofu Stews with toppings like Seafood, Kimchi, and more.

The Banchan (side dishes) are also delicious. Enjoy Macaroni, Fish Skin, Kimchi, and my favorite a small fried fish.

The Banchan are starters, but if you want more of any of them, just ask! They’re complimentary.

For 2 people*

You can share an appetizer, get 2 entrees, and 2 non-alcoholic beverages for $100-$110 after tax and tip. 

My favorites are the Seafood Tofu Stew, the Galbi, Bulgolgi, and the Bimbibop.

A decent deal for Midtown Manhattan

WHO IS LIFUTHELION?

Growing up in the South Brooklyn neighborhood of Bensonhurst, Lifu honed his craft in the art of roasting. It wasn’t until he attended The City College of New York in Harlem when he realized such a blunt style of humor wasn’t always welcome.

It was at the most diverse college in the World where Lifu developed his unique sense of humor.

He’ll say some wild sh*t in a serious tone, and you won’t know if he’s joking or not. With the blend of roasting people, sarcasm, and his satirical takes on society, he truly has a voice that is one-of-a-kind.

You won’t come out of a roast battle with TheLion without feelings being hurt, if you can dish it you better be able to take it.

Lifu believes Comedians are the Modern Day Philosophers. With video content consumption at an all-time high and book reading at a stand-still, entertainment that can get people to think and have conversations is what will move the needle forward.

LIFUTHELIONCOMEDY has arrived and he’s not gonna stop, until he’s at the top.
