Comedy is no longer what it used to be. Yes, it has become better. Before, we saw comedians as unserious. But now, they are well respected because of the obvious value they add. And because laughter is good for the mind, we all need them. So, we enjoy them one way or the other. Comedians in Nigeria know this fact, so they monetize it. Comedy for them is not just to amuse their audience. But it is also their source of income.
Many comedians in Nigeria don’t need an introduction. This is because they’re already popular. But there’s something you may not know. Most of them don’t rely on comedy alone as their hustle. They also know they need side hustles. And that’s why we bring to you a list of 10 comedians who have side hustles. This is in no specific order.
