Basket mouth shares experience

Talented comedian, Bright Okpocha popularly known as Basketmouth reveals how he started his career before he got a breakthrough, he said people that are able bodied but beg on the streets rather than work or find a good means of survival are lazy, “People that has two hands and legs should try to think of what they can do for themselves”. The Glo ambassador stated that if he was not a comedian, he would have done something else that could have made him better than who he is today. He further revealed that he went as far as taking the job of a disc jockey just to survive in the street which is even the more reason why his jokes are street base.

“I earned N8.000 in my first show in Jos which was co-host with fellow comedian, Julius Agwu, i had no room to sleep and had to beg Julius to let me sleep in his room and I had to sleep on the ground, Basket mouth explained. He added that he had to take “standing” from Benin to Lagos in a Luxurious bus just to come to Lagos for shows, I owe a lot to Ali Baba and 2Baba who always support me with the sum of N500.
