Comedy has since become big business in the country, with more and more talents joining the fray; how do you hope to keep being relevant and set yourself apart from the crowd?s
I've been planning quietly a number of projects, which I hope to sustain on a long term. The one I'm working on currently is a show to be called Sunday Laugh Night, which will be coming up every last Sunday of the month in Ikeja here. We observed that most comedy shows now are being staged on the island, so we wish to use Sunday Laugh Night as part of the efforts to bring back life to the mainland. I'm also working on a TV programme to be called K-Blind Show which I will be anchoring. It will feature such funny segments as Kellyblind going to an office to apply for the job of a driver. My objective for all these is to keep the name Kellyblind registered in the consciousness of the people.

How many shows have you featured in and which are the biggest?
I started just last year, after my outing at the comedy challenge. All of the shows have been wonderful. The notable ones include Nite of a Thousand Laughs, Lagos edition, December last year, where I was voted one
of the best performers of that night, as well as Julius Agwu's Crack Ya Ribs, which also held in December.

What's your relationship with other stand-up comedians?
I've been warmly received by all of them and they've come to the realization that there is now a special person in their fold. I'm the first, and still the only known blind standupcomedian in the whole of Nigeria. By April or May this year, I will be marking my one year on stage at a ceremony where the king of comedy, Ali Baba, will inaugurate me as the first ever blind stand-up comedian of the federal republic of Nigeria. Looking back that period, I feel very glad, and I owe a lot of gratitude to Julius Agwu who's been nudging me on and has been featuring me in some his functions; and AY in whose talent hunt (comedy challenge) show I first made my public appearance. AY and Julius are not just friends, they are brothers.

How much has comedy improved your lot?
Sincerely, since I got my break in comedy, my levels don change. By the grace of God, now I don package for my dressing and looks, and I don get one small car wen I take dey move around easily. So, comedy has been good business for me. But me I no dey advise people say becos Kellyblind don buy moto, make people go blind demself so dem go fit hammer like me, becos dier own fit go be bad market for dem.

What else would you have been doing, were you not into comedy?
I was formerly into music while I was at the school for the blind. I can play the guitar, keyboard and even write songs. I was quite passionate about it and even in 2006 I recorded an album titled Golden City, which had six tracks of gospel tunes. But when I took the work to a marketer, he turned me down that it was too much of a church song and so I should go and sell it in churches. I didn't also make a headway at the few churches I later went to, so that experience kind of discouraged me to dump music. Comedy actually came out of frustration and
hardship for me. So, the moment I learnt of the AY comedy show last year, I promptly applied to participate in it. Before then, I had been following several comedy shows on TV and video, but most of those who performed in them hardly made laugh. I thus said to myself that if I, a blind man, could make people who can see laugh with the jokes I crack at home, I would take my chance at the competition. And by God's grace I came out as one of the best.
