Why I am not seen everywhere — Mandy

Why I am not seen everywhere — Mandy

By KEHINDE AJOSE

Mandy Uzonitsha is not a rookie when it comes to the business of comedy. The veteran comedienne  who ranks among the individuals who have contributed to the growth of the Nigerian comedy industry reveals to Potpourri  reasons why she is not seen at every show like her other colleagues.

“I go to where I am needed. I am a mother and there are some people who have a lot of free time in their hands. They might get to an event and start begging at the back of the stage saying: “Let me just perform”. I attend events because they are paying events, events that will put food on the table for me. So most of the corporate jobs I do, you might not know about it. Most of the parties I do, you might not know about it. The fact that you don’t see me in popular shows doesn’t mean am not a comedian. I am not bothered about visibility; I am only bothered about my bank account.”
