Popular comedian and skit maker Nosa Afolabi, aka Lasisi Elenu, has said stand-up comedy is more tasking than skit-making.

In a recent interview with Hip TV, the Kwara-born humor merchant shared his thoughts on the financial differences and level of work that have to be put into stand-up comedy in comparison to skit-making.

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 got to be on your A-game, and you have to have 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 that 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 and brand them in such a way that in turn you get a financial reward for them. I believe either skit-making or stand-up comedy can give you the financial gains you’re looking for.”
