30 Mar Basketmouth to Quit Comedy In Five Years
Bright Okpocha, aka Basketmouth, has said he will quit comedy in five years.
In an interview with Hitz FM, he revealed he took a break a few years ago, but decided to return to comedy last year.
He added that he has made enough from the art to last him a lifetime, so it is time to pursue other areas of interest aside from comedy.
“For the past six years, I have just been floating, last year, I told myself and my team, you know what, I am going back to comedy.
“I want to do five years and I am quitting. I am quitting in 5 years. I have got five years to do this and I am done. I will still be cracking jokes, but it wouldn’t be a professional thing.
“So if you see me doing any gig, it is maybe I am doing pro bono, but I will not charge anybody to perform again. I have made enough, I have committed myself to the art enough to take a break or quit.
“I am now into movies, series, and concert production. I want to experience something new and I want to be remembered for something else other than comedy”, he stated.
