In a recent interview with Teju Babyface, Ayodeji Makun, the renowned comedian and filmmaker, humbly expressed that he wouldn’t rank himself among the top 20 funniest comedians in Nigeria. Despite facing criticism on blogs and social media about his comedy skills, he acknowledged that these critiques have been instrumental in pushing him to improve.
Reading comments like “I don’t find this guy funny” or “I can’t even stand him” serves as a motivating factor for him rather than leading to depression. He sees these comments as a signal to work harder and better his craft.
Ayodeji Makun emphasized that he wouldn’t include himself if asked to list the funniest comedians in the industry, but this doesn’t mean others don’t appreciate his talent and contributions.
