Talented Nigerian skit maker and comedian Nosa Afolabi popularly known as Lasisi Elenu has explained why skit making is harder than stand up comedy.
Lasisi Elenu who gave his candid explanation during a recent interview with Hip TV said that stand-up comedy and skit-making both have a different feel.
He said that there is a lot of pressure when it comes to stand up comedy as one has to be in his A-game to make several materials ready just in case one or other jokes are not good enough.

“Both [stand-up comedy and skit-making] have a different feel. There is a lot of pressure in stand-up comedy. You’ve to be on your A-game, and you have to make several materials ready in case you use one and it’s not that good, you can always improvise. It’s very important to do that.
“However, skit-making has become a part of me; one which I can do at anytime, any moment, from sleep, it’s a go for me. I know how to put myself in tune. Yeah, both [stand-up comedy and skit-making] are lucrative. It just depends on how you channel… As a matter of fact, it’s not how hard you work but how smart you work.
“So, it’s not about making the most skit videos, it’s how well you channel the videos to the right plugs go brand them in such a way that in turn you get financial reward for them. I believe either skit-making or stand-up comedy can give you the financial gains you’re looking for.”
