‘The lifespan of skit makers short’ – Comedian IGoSave
Otaghware Otas Onodjayeke, better known by his stage name Igosave, a Nigerian comedian, has stated that the fame of a skit maker is fleeting.
He claims that, unlike stand-up comedians, most skit writers do not have a long career in the entertainment industry.
The comedian made the claim while appearing as a guest on the most recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, which is co-hosted by actor Nedu.
Asked if he agrees that skitmaking is now overshadowing stand-up comedy, Igosave said, “Skitmaking, once they start am e dey erupt like volcano. But in my opinion, the lifespan is short.
“Yeah, skit maker go come, scatter everywhere, but before you know, he do cool. But, comedians go dey there for years still dey do their thing dey go [sic].
“We get plenty skit makers wey don come, wey we no dey hear off again wey no last three minutes.”
