Nigerian comedian Bright Okpocha popularly known in music circles as Basketmouth has revealed what he’ll eventually venture into when he quits the profession in the next five years.
The humour merchant who opened up in an interview with Hitz FM said that he has been off the scene for a while but last year he told himself and his team that he is going back to comedy for five years and after completing that cycle he’ll quit the scene.
Basketmouth informed that after he quits the profession of making people laugh in the next five years he’ll concentrate more on making movies, series, and concert production because he wants to be remembered for something else other than comedy.
He said; “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 go 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.” Basketmouth said in part.
