A man has legally changed his name in a bid to be known around the world and see his name up in lights.
Formerly known as Deano Wilson, the audio and visual installation engineer from Gosport says he prides himself on his 'day-to-day' comedy jokes.
And one of his most famous stunts, which he believes is the 'height of comedy', is to ensure he is known around the world - and he says friends and family have told him he's done the 'funniest thing ever'.
That's because the 39-year-old has legally changed his name to 'Fire Exit' to ensure "the whole world will recognise my name".
With his new name, Fire Exit joked people will now "run to me in an emergency" and "look for me to feel safe".
He said: “People laugh at me when I say ‘one day I will be so famous, the whole world will recognise my name’.
“So, what better way to do so by having my name in lights in every building, in every country, in every language all over the globe. No matter where you go, my name is illuminated.
“And even when there is power short, emergency backup power keeps my name bright and lit.
“Every main building, subway, school, corner shop, everywhere. My name in lights.
“This to me is the height of comedy and stardom. I will prove to all that didn't believe me that I would be so famous the entire world will know my name. I’m 'pushing the bar' as it were."
Mr Fire Exit hopes to one day have a meet and greet with his fans and put his autograph on fire exit stickers and signs.
He added: "I have told my friends and family and they all laughed and told me it’s genius and that I finally have done the funniest thing ever. One person even said 'This out comedies the world!'
"So, with a comment like that, I’m going to try and make the world laugh."
