In an interview with Joy Prime’s Roselyn Felli on the Changes show, he explained that most of the issues made public are usually intended to draw stakeholders’ attention to the challenges within the industry, to help address them.

However, he added that they try to resolve personal misunderstandings among themselves, rather than bringing them into the public domain.

“They’re lying! There’s no division in the comedy industry. We sit, eat and laugh. What we have as misunderstanding, we discuss it between us. What we have as industry misunderstanding, we put it where we have to put it. If I have a misunderstanding with you that I’m giving you fare to come and you don’t want to come, I can discuss with you personally. But if I give fare that you should come to my event and you don’t come, we’ll discuss it on air,” he said.

According to him, their personal differences are separate from their professional work. Hence, certain issues need to be addressed within the media space.

He further explained that some controversial matters are discussed publicly to contribute to the development of the industry.

People will feel it’s not funny because you have put their party on the line… if you don’t get a comedian who will say this then who will? A shoemaker or a pastor? He queried.

So now I have lots of jokes that I cannot say because if you do they will tag you as supporting a party.  If I will follow any party it has to be a huge sum that I can spend for about 40 years but then even if I support a party, can I joke about them? No.

The comedian, however, said since Ghana is in an election year he doesn’t see anything wrong keeping up with the trend.

No one should take it personal. We are in the political season so we will say the jokes but don’t say we the comedians who are citizens are supporting a party. If it doesn’t go well we all suffer together [SIC], “he added.
