IKEJA,Lagos, Nigeria – Nollywood superstar, Richard Mofe Damijo, better known as RMD has lunched Young & Funny, in search for the next Social Media Comedy Sensation.
The winner of the contest will not get any cash reward but something special.
“The winner will get a page on my website to use as their launching pad, A personal introduction and recommendation by me to the King of comedy @alibabagcfr and other top Nigerian comedians including @aycomedian @basketmouth @tejubabyfacetv”, he said.
RMD said he was born and raised in Warri, Delta State, which he said is the heartbeat of comedy.
“The average Warri person has a great sense of humor and a sense of humor comes with the ability to laugh at ones self so I find it endearing when comedians make themselves the butt of their own jokes without necessarily self-depreciating.
“If you know me, then you know that I love to laugh. I laugh at myself, at jokes, funny stories and more recently, memes and funny social media videos.
“I have found numerous brilliant young people who have found not only fame but a means of livelihood as their social media fame gets them branding, influencing and advertising gigs. I am happy how they are making a living from their talents, however, I am aware that there are many more funny people looking for that one person to give them a platform to show how funny they are.
“Well, if that’s your story, search no more. I have launched a new project called YOUNG and FUNNY to find the next social media comedy sensation. The winner will get a page on my website to use as their launching pad, A personal introduction and recommendation by me to the King of comedy @alibabagcfr and other top Nigerian comedians including @aycomedian @basketmouth @tejubabyfacetv “, he said.
