Jephtha Bowoto popularly known as Akpororo, has revealed
that his jokes about mad men was what brought him to limelight. The comedian, who made this known in a recent interview,
said he studied mentally ill people to be able to turn their predicaments to an
instrument of advocacy using comedy.
"I broke in with one joke which talks about a mad man who went to a church to give a special number. I shared this joke at the 'Laugh and Jam' organised by Basketmouth. It was a joke that just came about. In my church we have a programme we call, 'E-mad men'. We take care of mentally ill people. We don't discriminate. But when you hear me talk about madmen, it is because I have studied them. When you hear me talk about pastors, it is because I am a church boy. Anything you hear me talk about, it is because I studied the subject; except those I consider freestyle and some which may just come on the spur of the moment. I stood out because there was nobody doing such a comedy. That is what made me stand out in the industry", he revealed.
