Basket Mouth<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Popular Nigerian comedian Bright Okpocha, better known as Basket Mouth, says he owes Ghana a debt of gratitude for contributing to the success of his career.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian comic star, who spoke on Accra-based Hitz FM\u2019s Andy Dosty-hosted morning programme, Daybreak Hitz, said\u00a0the event that shot him to international fame and success took place in Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cI owe you guys (Ghana) a certain level of my growth,\u201d the award-winning comic said. \u201cThe first big show that sold me to the world I did it in Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was during this event, he explained, that he did the acclaimed \u2018Two Things Involved\u2019 joke.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat performance was what sold me,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n

The comic and music executive since his Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) performance has not ceased to eulogise Ghana.<\/p>\n

He has even produced a comic show dubbed \u2018Ghana Jollof\u2019, which captures the story of two Nigerians moving to Ghana.<\/p>\n

Also, Basket Mouth has a song with Ghanaian highlife star Kwabena Kwabena titled \u2018Ghana Jollof\u2019.<\/p>\n

Basket Mouth returns to the AICC with his latest performance titled \u2018Unprovoked\u2019 slated for Saturday, April 8.<\/p>\n

The father of three will be taking \u2018Unprovoked\u2019 to North America from June to July.<\/p>\n

He has also revealed via a tweet that he will be retiring from comedy in five years\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got five more years before I drop the mic\u2026 and I intend to make every single year count,\u201d he said, announcing his Basket Mouth Cancel Culture Tour scheduled between February 1 and March 30, 2024.<\/p>\n
