Basketmouth envisions Nigerian comedy following in the footsteps of Afrobeats and gaining global recognition. The renowned comedian, Bright Okpocha, expressed this sentiment during the unveiling of the unscripted African Original LOL (Last One Laughing Naija) comedy series. He emphasized the immense talent within the Nigerian comedy industry and the need for it to be celebrated on a global scale.
Basketmouth sees the partnership with Prime Video as an opportunity for Nigerian comedy to break into the international market. With Prime Video’s presence in over 200 countries, he believes it is the perfect platform to showcase the talent and humor of Nigerian comedians to the world.
The comedy series, featuring ten Nigerian comedians including Sabinus, KieKie, Taaooma, and IGoSave, is poised to contribute to the growth and recognition of Nigerian comedy on a global scale.
