Popular Nigerian comedian and actor Basketmouth has urged up and coming comedians to desist from the act of begging for money while performing on stage.
During a recent podcast appearance, the humour merchant expressed his frustration with the growing trend, which according to him as greatly reduce the art of stand-up comedy.
He said:
“All these new guys coming up, if you can stop begging for money on stage, that will do us good. Just go on stage and perform. Crack a joke and get out. I’m pissed off with how you guys have watered down the art,”
“Just go on stage and perform. Why are you hailing people and asking them to spray you money? If you want to beg, go to the streets.”
