Prior to that day, Tejumola had said that the Digital Content Creators’ Day, which kick-started last year, is part of the activities for the AMVCAs to support and further underscore the company’s commitment to spotlighting content creators.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Tejumola gave valuable insights that can help comedians bring back the glory of stand-up comedy and what they can do to stay impactful and relevant.
In her words, “Stand-up comedians have a unique ability to connect with audiences and bring joy to their lives. To revive the genre’s glory, comedians must continuously refine their skills, embrace new platforms, and explore innovative ways to engage their audience. It is through creativity and adaptability that stand-up comedy will thrive.”
