‘Mad Men Are The Source Of My Inspiration" – Comedian Akpororo Reveals

Popular Nigerian comedian, Jephthah Bowoto, popularly known as Akpororo, has praised mentally challenged men as he credited them as the source of inspiration for his jokes.

The comedian in an interview with Tribune said that he picked up his crazy personality from watching mad men.

The native of Ilaje in Ondo State said;

“It is my own style. I figured that if you are coming into the industry you need to bring something new. 

Like you said, some comedians sing, dance and even act drunk. I know I can dance and sing, but I wanted to stand out, so I introduced something.

People talk about mad people a lot in jokes, but I decided to act it out. It is my strategy and I want to thank God for what He has done. I watch mad men. I observe them a lot.”
