How has your participation in Peak Talent Show 2010 affected your career as a comedian, especially emerging as the 1st runner up? All accolades to my judges, Helen Paul, D1 Adeneye and Late OJB Jezreel (May his soul rest in peace). But because I serve a Living God and I was working hard I was able to pull through to the final which was won by Kida kudz. I wasn’t expected to scale through the second week because they felt I would repeat jokes and would be evicted.

I had a note book I usually wrote jokes that were funny to friends. I have always loved comedy right from my early days, especially while I was trying to write JAMB to gain admission into the university. Was it because there was no job?
