The culture of stand-up comedy is bleeding terribly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cYou know, with music, they have their streaming platforms; they have a platform that supports what they do across the world. With movies, they have the same thing: they have the streaming platform. And Afrobeats broke into that space and made room for the movies. Unfortunately, for comedy, we don\u2019t have any platforms. We don\u2019t have comedy clubs; we don\u2019t have any structure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIn the United States, if comedians decide to go on tour, before they go on tour, they do comedy clubs across the states and try the materials repeatedly. But here in Nigeria, there\u2019s no comedy club. There\u2019s nowhere for you to practice your materials. Because this is an art, you can\u2019t just create it and go on stage when you don\u2019t know what the response is going to be like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When musicians make their songs, they call different people, A&amp;R, and ask for their feedback before feeding it to the rest of the world. But out here, you see a lot of comedians. It\u2019s a risky game. And they\u2019re the ones promoting the shows, looking for sponsors. The system is not built to support comedy. A lot of newbies don\u2019t have the platform like we had.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Basketmouth has opened up about the Nigerian comedy scene.
