It is no longer news that the Nigerian entertainment
industry is thriving, taking a much-coveted spot as one of the country’s
largest exports.
However, it is the movie and music sub-industries that take
the spotlight, with the comedy sub-industry pushing behind.
Although the comedy industry struggles for more relevance
amongst its fellow sub-industries, its impact on Nigerians cannot be underestimated.
Nigerian comedians have been known to be able to find humor
even in the face of a crippling economy and abject poverty; putting together
comedy shows all over the country, bringing relief and laughter to
understandably stressed Nigerians.
One of such comedians cum actor is the vibrant Joseph
Chinedu Victor, popularly known as open teeth, who hails from Abia state but was
born in the bubbly city of Lagos.
Despite being a graduate of History and International
Relations from the prestigious Lagos State University, Victor found his passion
in comedy, being the convener of the annual comedy show THE THOUGHTS OF OPENTEETH
Regardless of his status as a family man; with a wife and
children, Victor has pushed steadily and made his mark in the industry having
worked with top organizations such as Longrich international; both in
Nigerian and China, as well as MTN, UBA,
Zenith Bank, Nigerian Port Authority, Nigerian Aviation Industry to mention a
few.
His expertise spreads from stand-up comedy to MC at weddings,
birthdays, lunches, dinners, even getting featured in music videos for the
likes of Korede Bello(Godwin), Wizkid (Manyah), and Falz (This is Nigeria).
OpenTeeth is a very funny, creative, and intelligent
M.C/Comedian who knows how to create humor from everyday activities, keeping
his audience continuously entertained. It is easy to see that this young
comedian is one we all should have our eyes on.
