Nigerian comedian Bovi, has advised his colleagues in the industry to embrace the art of creating album-like skits to sustain relevance.
The 41-year-old comedian spoke on Sunday 25th April at the virtual 8th edition of the Nigerian Entertainment Conference (NEC Live).
He said comedians should start thinking of longevity and how to maintain proper structure.
“Personally, I feel comedians need to start creating mini albums, which is like what TV has always been, weekly shows of 30 minutes duration as oppose to one video today and another tomorrow.
We need to create something like an album, like making eight videos, some comedians are already doing it. Comedians should think of something like this, making eight episodes of content, so they can have time to do other things as against you consuming your life every week”. He said.

“That is how you have a proper structure. That way in the future, a streaming platform can say we love what you do, and commission you to make weekly episodes for them”. He added.
The seasoned comedian also said that the pervasive skit-making culture has helped to create another space in the entertainment industry.
“The skit culture is actually different. It has helped to create a new industry. There are people who are so witty that in less than 30 seconds, they can make you laugh by what they dramatise through the skit. So, it is a win-win situation for the executioner and consumers.
Now everybody has a Tv station, your YouTube is your Tv station, your Instagram and TikTok are your Tv stations. This is a great opportunity for people to showcase the talents. if it’s good the world will buy.
To take advantage of this, you need to know your strength, you must evolve because disruption is the order of the day. Create stuff not only for the moment but something of longevity:”
