Nigerian comedian, Ayo Makun, AY has recounted how a senior colleague almost made him ended his comedy career.
According to a recent interview, he said;
“Most people go into an industry thinking that everyone is their friend. Even in the entertainment industry, the glitz and glamour in the industry can fool an outsider into believing that.
My dreams started finding expressions the minute I realised that some actions are directed at you just to make you lose focus. There was a time I almost gave up just because a senior colleague believed that I was too small and irrelevant to do my own show at a time.”
“Breaking into the industry and becoming successful in what you do takes a lot of dedication. I have learned to be focused on achieving creative set goals. It has helped me gain deep knowledge about what works and doesn’t work in my industry.
This is one thing I will recommend to the younger generation to help improve their chances of working their way up the ladder.
Always find a way to separate yourself from the crowd by coming in with something new.
