Nigerian comedian, Basketmouth, has set the record straight about his future in the entertainment industry.
Despite delving into filmmaking with his first feature film, “A Ghetto Love Story,” he assured fans that he has no intentions of leaving stand-up comedy behind.
During a press conference at the premiere of his movie, Basketmouth confirmed that he will still be active in the comedy scene. He disclosed his plans to kick off a comedy tour in 2025, starting with shows in the UK, the US, and Nigeria.
While acknowledging the financial benefits of private gigs like weddings, he revealed that he will no longer be taking on such roles.
Explaining his decision, Basketmouth stated, “I am still into comedy. From next year, I’m going on tour. Already, I have my UK tour, and then I have a US tour.
I’m also doing a show in Nigeria next year. Comedy is still going, and I’m not going to stop. The only thing I’ll stop is private gigs, like weddings.”
The comedian expressed his dedication to preserving the integrity of stand-up comedy and stated that he feels MCing at events dilutes the art form.
He emphasized his commitment to delivering quality comedy performances and ensuring that he stays true to his craft.
