Creator Duncan Joseph Drops the Wigs, Reveals True Self

Duncan Joseph, the social media personality behind @duncanyounot, is transitioning from portraying diverse characters to showcasing his genuine self online. Joseph’s popular sketches, featuring personas like Shannon Debussy and Diana Diamond, are inspired by the funny women in his life and the daily banter with his friends.

He explains that his creative process begins with a concept, not just a character, allowing him to imbue each persona with relatable depth.

Joseph sees this evolution as a move toward greater authenticity and confidence, hoping to inspire others to embrace their true selves online.
