34. On Comedy and the African Revolution ft. Dexmond the Comedian

Nigerian politics is certainly more and more comedic - but can Nigerian comedy be more political?

In this episode, we spoke to Dexmond, a budding act in the Nigerian comedy scene. We briefly discussed his entry into comedy, the evolution of the industry, and its peculiarities in the social media era.

Naturally, we also examined the status and role of comedy in the context of Nigerian politics. Is comedy in Nigeria already a conquered terrain? Or is comedy able to raise consciousness and challenge power? Should it?
