Comedian, Chibuike Josh Alfred, aka Josh 2 Funny is one Nigerian entertainer whose humorous content has gone viral on countless occasions.
The creator of the trending #Dontleavemechallenge has stated that he doesn’t create skits with the intention to make them go viral.
“I never make skits with the ready-made intention of virality. In fact, the virality of the content never starts from me, it always starts from other people who love the content. For example, that Zimbabwean guy who jumped on #DontLeaveMe made people pay attention to what we created.
“‘All My Guys Are Ballers’ also went viral after people started posting it on Twitter and it went all over the world,” Josh said in chat with Pulse.
Speaking further, Josh opened up his foray into comedy, adding that his dad had always known school wasn’t meant for him.
“When I was young, I did a lot of painting and drawing… When I was in JSS1, I used to make greeting cards for my classmates and sell them for N50, N100. The day I sold one for N200, I shut down the market (laughs). I still draw, but time doesn’t allow me to paint and draw as much.
“When I was in Secondary School, my teachers used to tell my dad that schooling was a waste of time for me and he loved hearing that. I was also good at football, I was the best in the same academy as Asisat Oshoala. My dad knew that I was not meant for school, but he wanted me to finish that school to have some security.
“[I chose comedy because] I am naturally funny and people have always told me. I don’t force things and I don’t even try to make people laugh, I just talk. I think comedy is in my blood, but music is in my genes… That’s why I don’t wash my jeans (laughs). I wear dirty jeans”.
