In a recent interview with YES Magazine, comedian and Glo Ambassador, Bright Okpocha aka Basketmouth talked about his lovely family and the talent which has brought him so much good fortune and fame. Okpocha admitted that stand-up comedy has "done everything" for him and, thus, "pays more than banking job".
"Comedy has given me a reason to be a better person and a reason to work hard, because making people laugh is my dream. Today, it is an accomplishment for me. Comedy has given me a career and put food on my table at the same time. It has done everything that I want; it has even done more things [for me] than it's done for a banker.
"It gives me access to a lot of things. It helps me go by some stuff. I'm sorry to say this, but when there's a long queue, the manager of the bank says to me 'come to my office, take a cup of tea and let my people get the money for you'.
"I won't lie to you; comedy has done too much for me. It's everything I can ever wish for. I got into the game for the love and the passion, but I didn't know that fame was going to come with it. Today, that fame - trust me; every celebrity will say the same thing - opens doors and that's the truth." Enough said.
