Popular comedian cum actor, Nosa Afolabi, aka Lasisi Elenu, has revealed that stand-up comedy is more tasking than skit-making.
Comparing the two crafts in a recent interview with Hip TV, Lasisi Elenu who is also into skit making, said it involves less pressure than stand-up comedy.
The Kwara-born comic actor outlined pointers stand-up comedians must follow to be on top of their game unlike skit making which needed no of that but spontaneity
He said,
“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 any time, any moment, from sleep, it’s a go for me. I know how to put myself in tune.”
On the financial gains of both crafts, he added;
“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 and 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.”
