Josh2funny: Why I stopped dressing like woman in my skits 

Josh2funny, the Nigerian skit maker, has revealed why he stopped dressing like a woman in his skits.

In a recent interview with the Honest Bunch podcast, the comedian said he faced unwanted advances from fans while playing the character Mama Felicia.

He said he decided to abandon the Mama Felicia character to adopt Brother Zacchaeus to avoid further embarrassment.

“You see, difference between me and some other people wey dey do female character, my own was straight comedy. Anybody wey go see me like me no really get sense, no really know where e dey go because I made sure it was stupid,” he said.

“Mama Felicia is a stupid character, it was straight stupid. I had a lot of advances. E get one guy, the guy came to my WhatsApp and was like I really like you, I went straight to him and I said bro I’m going to pray and you’re going to be blind in two weeks, the guy begin beg me. Why you go see me, like me?

“E join why I leave the character. It was Mama Felicia I turned Brother Zacchaeus. Instead of wearing female dress, I had to drop it and start putting on male clothes, using the same accent. It was becoming embarrassing for me because I mean I just want to make people laugh.”

Born Josh Alfred, Josh2Funny shot into the limelight when his skit #DontLeaveMe went viral.

In August 2023, he took his comedy to the global stage by performing one of his skit characters, “fastest reader in the world”, on America’s Got Talent.
