Ace comedian, Bright Okpocha, aka Basketmouth, tells TOFARATI IGE about his career, the comedy industry and other issues
What
has been your experience making the sitcom, ‘Flatmates’?
One of the first issues we faced at the beginning had to do with stories. When we started the project, they (Multichoice) hired writers but they could not tell our stories for us. They were Nigerians but they were not sitcom writers; they were more of drama writers, so we struggled initially. After some time, I said it could not continue that way and we needed to restructure. So, we changed everything and the stories changed. They (executive producers) cut me some slack and I appreciate them for that because it was not something they normally did.
