Iconic comedian, Teju Babyface, bowed out of the stand-up comedy industry about three years ago and it seems he is not rescinding his decision.
He has embraced TV and recently wrote a book secrets of the street.
In a chat with Saturday Beats, the comic act turned television presenter said that he threw in the towel on his comedy career mainly because he was constantly struggling. He said, “It was always a struggle to be a comedian.
You may not have seen the struggle but every time I got on stage, it was a constant struggle. I had to prove myself to the audience constantly at every performance. It was a constant struggle and there were times I had been called on stage and the applause at the best of time would be polite, at the worst of times it would be non-existent.
If you think about it, I really did not look like a comedian. It was as if the audience did not believe I could make them laugh; so I always had to prove myself. There was a time that it did not matter because I really enjoyed doing it. But after a certain time, your inner man would call out to you and things like discontent would start to set in.”
