Gbenga Adeyinka has told
City People magazine in their new publication that he never knew money was
involved in comedy before he started, and as a matter of fact he never knew
what he did all along was comedy. But all of a sudden people started asking him
for how much he charges for shows and that was how he knew money was involved. His
story is so similar to mine, never knew there was a kobo in blogging o, I just
started writing and that was it, hahaha hear him;
How did comedy start for
you?
Comedy is something I have
always done but I didn’t even know it was called comedy, I just knew it was
anchoring event and making people laugh. I had always done it on campus, I was
in theatre 15 and I did a couple of comic roles, people invited me for their
end of the semester party and all other events.
When I graduated, I started my own children party entertainment. I met Akin Akindele, he told me to come and meet him at MITV, he will tell jokes and I will tell him jokes. There was a lady called Funmi and she said she wanted to start a programme and she wants me to be part of it, she said she will have a segment where I will tell jokes and I said “Jokes”? “How”?, I am not a comedian.She asked me to talk in my normal way, which I did and people started calling in to ask me how much I charge and I was surprised that money is involved. That was how it all started for me and the rest is history.
Who say money no they entertainment industry? Let him come and ask Mr Adeyinka. Just be creative you will make it
