Nigerian stand-up comedian, actor, and writer, Abovi Ugboma, popularly known as Bovi, has said skit-making is not a threat to stand-up comedy.
In an exclusive chat with Midweek Entertainment, Bovi said before the advent of social media, skit-making was used to promote stand-up comedy shows, adding that it made no sense for people to conclude that skit-making was a threat to stand-up comedy.
He said, “Skits threatening stand-up comedy is a very stupid assumption. Skit making is skit making and stand-up comedy is stand-up comedy. There has always been skit-making, even before the advent of social media.
“I don’t know where the theory that one is affecting the other came from, it makes absolutely no sense and I hate to indulge in the topic because even before social media, we used to use skits to promote our shows, people can watch skits and still go for shows.
