Popular comedian and actor, Nosa Afolabi, also known as Lasisi Elenu, has revealed that it’s much harder for a comedian to be a stand-up performer than to be into skit making.
The father of one who has been one of the trending memes used on social media said stand-up comedy is harder to make because it takes a lot of courage, full of pressure and gives room for improvisation.
He said this in an interview with HIP TV. Lasisi Elenu said he could easily make skits anywhere he goes.
Lasisi Elenu said, “Both have a different feel. There is a lot of pressure in stand-up comedy.
“You’ve to be on your A-game, and you have to make several materials ready in case you use one and it’s not that good, you can always improvise. It’s very important to do that.
“However, skit making has become a part of me; one which I can do at anytime, any moment, from sleep, it’s a go for me. I know how to put myself in tune.
“Yeah, both are lucrative. It just depends on how you channel … As a matter of fact, it’s not how hard you work but how smart you work.
“So, it’s not about making the most skit videos, it’s how well you channel the videos to the right plugs go brand them in such a way that in turn you get financial reward for them.
“I believe either skit making or stand-up comedy can give you the financial gains you’re looking for.”
