Comedian Seyi Law has shared his two-decade journey in the comedy industry, highlighting the sacrifices he made to achieve success
In an interview with HipTV, he recounted how he left his uncle’s home in Orile to live with his aunt in Ebute Metta, Lagos, in search of better access to performance opportunities.
Reflecting on his career, he said, “It’s been 20 years, and there have been a lot of sacrifices to get to where I am today. But when success comes, you most times forget the sacrifices. Like they say, a day of joy erases years of sorrow.”
“One of the things I did when I joined the comedy business was to leave my comfort zone. That time I was staying with my uncle in Orile, and I left there to stay with my Aunty, who lived in Ebute Meta. It wasn’t so much of a comfortable place, but I went there to have proximity to certain places.
“As we were growing, I had called Emeka Smith, who was my friend, to make certain moves. One of them is to leave Lagos and go to universities to seek opportunities to perform at their different social events. I remember we left Lagos to go to Obafemi Awolowo University, and those times we didn’t really have a place to sleep, and couldn’t afford a hotel.
