Basketmouth is no doubt one Nigerian comedian who has international acceptance outside the shores of Nigeria. He has been able to build his brand beyond the Nigerian landscape, performing on international platforms, hosting sold-out shows.
In 2015, he was honoured at Houston Texas US on a day called Basket Mouth Day.
In a recent interview with BBC, the ace comedian was asked to talk about the secret of his international success.
He puts it like this :”I try as much as possible to make my materials universal. So that way, I don’t goof. When I come to the UK to do my gigs or even in America, I try as much as possible to avoid saying anything about Nigeria.”
“These guys don’t know anything about Nigeria. My jokes are always universal, which is the reason I can easily break into those grounds”
