As you read this, he has been anchoring shows back to back,over the last 9 months.So,he has become the MC of choice by many celebrities.
Lately,I have noticed an increase in the demand for your professional service across the South West. How do you cope?
First, I give thanks to almighty God for his grace and I have to cope because it’s what I prayed for at the beginning of my career and now that it’s happening I have no choice but to embrace it.
You are a Great MC and a brilliant comedian. How do balance out the 2 roles?
I thank God for the gift of versatility. I took a decision early not just to be a comedian alone but to study and train to be an MC that will be respected and that will deliver anytime I’m given the opportunity. I understudied a lot of people (some didn’t even know I was doing that)
When you are going to anchor an event how do you prepare? Do jot down your jokes?
My philosophy is he who fails to plan plans to fail. I research the field relevant to the event I have and as I am researching some jokes come up that I jot down but when the work starts more materials will come to me that I use . It is very important to be a voracious reader cos it helps your mind as a comedian and MC
What makes the Gbenga Adeyinka brand different from others?
I guess it’s my versatility, pursuit of redefinition and untiring desire to continually be on top of my art
For how many years have you been a professional MC and Stand up Comedian?
I’ve done it since 1987 (my University days ) but I started professionally 29 years ago when I registered my business
