Comedy Doesn’t Make Me Unserious – Actor , Okon of Lagos

A comic actor, Ime Umoh- Okon Lagos, says he does not see acting comedy as an unserious job.

In an interview with Sunday Scoop, he said, “Who says my (comic) roles are not serious? (laughs) There is nothing unserious about comedy.

As a matter of fact, it is a genre of drama that is arguably the hardest. If one has what it takes to elicit laughter from Nigerians, who are hurt and frustrated, then one is seriously on top of one’s craft and game. I don’t see anything unserious about comedy.”

Speaking on why he has been very vocal about the forthcoming elections, he said, “Lately, I became (more) interested in politics; although I had always had an interest in it. I think this is an era of intense political awareness. The desire to make our country work has never been higher among the entire citizenry; hence, my participation.”
