BASKETMOUTH UNCENSORED 2014 IN LONDON SCORES ANOTHER SLAMDUNK

The way the Pound Sterling must be rushing in for Bright Okpocha & his partners, very soon the heir-apparent to the crown of Comedy in Nigeria, might soon own his own bank ooooo. There's even the gist that he has bought his own PJ already. However all of you wants to define the PJ is left to you. 

Like he normally does around Valentine every year in London, he had another supersonic showcase at the Indigo O2 arena, in London on February 16, 2014. Basketmouth and his co-travelers were in their elements, dishing out a continuous flow of jokes and jibes to the delight of all. It was a sold out crowd again, which has become very usual with anything Basketmouth and CokoBar.com is involved in. 

So great were the number of those that came to watch, that many were turned back as the venue was packed out. So you can understand what we mean by him raking in the Pound Sterling anyhow. Unlike we usually do, we weren't on ground this year to cover the show. But we still got some pictures for your viewing delight.

Transcending race and culture with his comic delivery, Basketmouth held the audience in the palm of his hand as he rolled out all the comedy stops to showcase his inimitable brand of humour.  Among the topics that had the audience laughing until they wept were his hilarious comments on Nigerian culture, what it was like to be a Nigerian in South Africa, the differences between a Nigerian couple fighting and a South African couple fighting, tips for guys on how to trick a girl into staying the night and tips for girls on how to avoid being tricked into staying the night!   

Commented Evert van der Veer, Head of Comedy Central, Africa, “Basketmouth received the warmest welcome and the longest standing ovation we’ve ever seen - a triumphant endorsement of an artist at the top of his comedy powers, and sure proof that Nigerian comedy and comedians can cross borders and make get people laughing wherever they go.”

BASKETMOUTH SETS FEBRUARY DATE FOR SINGLE

BRIGHT OKPOCHA

If you call him-Mr. Multi-talented you might be right-He raps-very well at that, he is a Comedian and finally a Compere extraordinaire. Some have even come to refer to him has the Crown Prince of Comedy; whether that's a right assertion is a topic for another day. But we can tell you for a fact that he is good at his job.
The new deal with him right now, is that he is remembering what majorly brought him to the entertainment scene in the first place-Music. He had fallen madly in love in the 90's with Rap Music better known now has Hip-Hop. His many influences or inspirations then were the likes of Wu Tang Clan- made up of the likes of Method Man, Ghostface Killah, RZA, Raekwon, GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastards, Inspectah Decks & U-God, Buckshot and many others.

He took his love a step further by collaborating with his elder brother-Godwin and a few other friends to form a Rap Group they named-The Psychopaths made up of 8 members, they experimented in the studios bringing all the 8 elements together, but never released an Album or any of the singles.
