Veteran comedian Alibaba has expressed worry about the declining professionalism among some comedians
He cited an incident where a comedian made an embarrassing joke about a plus-size wife of a company chairman during a corporate event.
When Alibaba addressed the issue, the comedian downplayed it and claimed Alibaba was jealous of his success.
Alibaba emphasized the need for comedians to know their boundaries and focus on intelligent humor, choosing not to name the comedians involved to avoid harming their careers.
He said: “There are about three Nigerian comedians who I can’t stand. They have no decorum. They insult sensibilities. You try to correct them, they won’t listen to you. You send them to a cooperate event and they do dirty jokes. And when you received report of their unruly behaviour and you confront them, they would downplay it.
“Somebody called me one time to complain about one of them that he made a joke about his plus-size wife. He said, ‘If a race happens now and everyone has to carry their wives and run, you can’t carry this woman and run.’ I was like, that’s below the belt. When I confronted him, he downplayed it. He even told somebody that I was only confronting him because he was shining.”
