Question: First major entry show or event and how it affected your career?

Answer: That was Comedy Goes 2 Church with Acapella, it brought us recognition particularly within the industry & the media. Meanwhile before then, we had graced several church platforms amongst which was Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners Chapel with a 50,000 capacity audience although we would rather not regard it as a major show.

Question: Your brand of performance is very unique.... comedians once in a while team up to do it occasionally but you have made it your signature and striving with it. What has been the Sustaining factor of your success?

Answer: Grace is what sustains along with the drive to be unique. Lagos has a comedy industry with the highest competitiveness with so many stand up comedians around town. So the question is, how do we come up & get noticed out of the entire pack? Come up with a Brand that is unique & stay stubborn with it.

Question: How has working as a team of 2 people affected your outings, schedule and engagement?

Answer: It’s easy. We live together, plan our schedule & move together to events except in cases where we had to anchor two separate events as two separate MCs.

Question: If you were to make recommendations for other comedians (upcoming or already established comedians), what would be your recommendation?

Answer: Our recommendation remains the same. We came into this industry to add value, spice & variety to what was already on the table, not precisely because we saw how much money Alibaba made from it. So to colleagues who have been there over the years & the ones who are new in the field, please strive always to add value by thinking out your own jokes rather than steal intellectual properties & polish your skills so you don't ruin people's events & shame our industry.

We at Comedy+ Magazine wish them the best
