INTERVEIW WITH M.C. DODO- AN UPCOMING COMEDIAN




 


WHAT YOUR FULL NAME?
Franklin Oscar.


WHY THE CHANGE FROM AMOBI TO OSCAR? BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW YOU AS FRANKLIN AMOBI.
Personal reasons.

OK, WHAT INSPIRE YOU TO DO COMEDY?
Hmm, that’s a deep question, I will say comedy has always been in me from primary school days. Then my teachers will say frank go and be a comedian oh, I didn’t take it serious then. But after secondary school. I started following comedy shows and other events and I discovered that I can also be like these guys, I can do what they do. So I prayed about it and started.


WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MAJOR CHALLENGE IN THE COMEDY INDUSTRY?
My major challenge has been getting and building the right materials to make the crowd laugh. The fear of performing and getting booed grips me sometimes.

LOL, HAVE YOU GOTTEN BOOED ON STAGE BEFORE AND IF YOU HAVE GOTTEN HOW DID YOU FEEL?
Hahaha, no entertainer has never been booed before. At least from when they started they must have been booed. So me I think twice or so and I felt really bad. I actually felt like quitting lolz.


HEARD OF SO MANY SHOWS YOU DID WHAT WAS YOUR CHALLENGE ORGANIZING THEM?
Hmm, the challenge is mostly the financial aspect. Because most times you have a good plan but no funds to actualize it. You see a good hall for 500k but you have only 200k so you have to go for the one your money can carry. You want to pay some big artist but you cant so, you have to stick with the upcoming artist you have. Money is just always the challenge in hosting shows. Most time we run into debts after the show because we made some commitment just to make sure the show is up to standard.

WHAT YOUR AUDIENCE CAPACITY AND FAN BASE?
My first show I had like about 15 people, second was 12, third was 480.
My fan base, I don’t really know, because many people know me that I don’t even know. But the ones I know are 1,200 or even more.

WHAT YOUR WORD OF ADVICE FOR UPCOMING COMEDIANS?
My word of advice to them is to never give up, keep fighting, keep kicking, keep struggling, keep rehearsing, you will get there. Don’t give up because the crowd booed you, don’t give up because there is no one to fund your career.
And lastly don’t depend on any man to help you, man will fail you. Just keep looking to God.

DO YOU HAVE A TWITTER HANDLE, FACEBOOK FAN PAGE OR ANY FAN PAGE YOUR FANS CAN FOLLOW?
