Skit maker Bae U Barbie has gotten people talking on social media following his bold comment about comedian AY during his show, Curiosity Made Me Ask.
While introducing AY, he said, “Our guest today is a reminder that you don’t have to be funny to be a successful comedian in Nigeria”.
The snippet, now viral, has drawn mixed reactions. While some applaud Bae U’s boldness, others defend AY’s influence in comedy. Interestingly, AY has previously admitted, “I’m not among the funniest comedians in Nigeria,” focusing instead on his business strategies.
This exchange raises an old question: can success in comedy be all about strategy rather than humor? What’s your take?
