In a recent interview with Hip TV, Nosa Afolabi, popularly known as Lasisi Elenu, a renowned comedian and skit creator, expressed his perspective on the varying demands between stand-up comedy and skit-making. 

The Kwara-born humorist emphasized that stand-up comedy is notably more demanding and entails a higher level of effort and financial commitment compared to skit creation.

Lasisi Elenu said, “Both [stand-up comedy and skit-making] have a different feel. There is a lot of pressure in stand-up comedy. You’ve to be on your A-game, and you have to make several materials ready in case you use one and it’s not that good, you can always improvise. It’s very important to do that.

“However, skit-making has become a part of me; one which I can do at anytime, any moment, from sleep, it’s a go for me. I know how to put myself in tune. Yeah, both [stand-up comedy and skit-making] are lucrative. It just depends on how you channel… As a matter of fact, it’s not how hard you work but how smart you work.

“So, it’s not about making the most skit videos, it’s how well you channel the videos to the right plugs go brand them in such a way that in turn you get financial reward for them. I believe either skit-making or stand-up comedy can give you the financial gains you’re looking for.”

Lasis Elenu recently released a skit about the crazy dollar rate increase that has gotten everyone laughing.
