Comedian and OAP, Ushbebe has said that he prefers to be a comedian than an actor because comedians get higher pay than actors.
The Ay's Crib actor made this revelation in a chat with Punch Newspaper as he unveils untold details about his growing up years.
“Comedy
for me started when I was in my father’s house. My father is a very
funny man. I am not one of those that would say certain things to make
my growing up days sound like a bed of roses," he began.
Continuing, Ushbebe said, 'I
grew up in the Air Force base and if you know anyone that grew up
there, you can ask of Baba Congo. That is what they call my father. Just
imagine the nickname my father has, Congo, who bears a name like that
if not a funny man? He is a funny man, a clown, and that is the kind of
house I grew up experiencing funny things. My house was like that Fuji
House of Commotion when we had a full house. Because of my background, I
went to the university to study Theatre Art. Even in my secondary
school, I was the head of the drama society and I held the same position
during my NYSC and in my church. In fact, I have been doing drama for a
very long time and I call myself a ‘dramarian’.
Concluding he said, 'The
only thing I can’t do is act because I don’t like to stay in a place
for too long, so I decided to stick to comedy. Besides, the money actors
collect is too small; when they increase their money, I will start
acting.'
