Nigerian comedian, Basketmouth has expressed his thoughts on the the trend of skits being embraced by comedians on social media.
The renowned entertainer who recently ventured into film-making noted that there is nothing like a good joke.
He made this known during the recently held annual Social Media Week held in Lagos where he was a panelist.
“There’s nothing like a good joke. A joke can always be improved and even I often share some of my jokes with fellow comedians and they tell me it’s okay but tell me how to make it better. Doing skits on social media is very different from performing on stage. There is no filter on stage,” he said.
He also urged upcoming comedians to work on their content and create a fan base for themselves before approaching brands and demanding showcase opportunities.
“Create content that is buyable. All you need is good content and it will sell by itself.”
