Nigerian comedian Josh2Funny has revealed why he stopped dressing up as a woman in his skits. In a recent interview, he shared that he faced unwanted romantic advances from fans while playing the character Mama Felicia.
Josh2Funny said he created Mama Felicia as a comedic character, but things took a turn when fans started hitting on him. He recalled a specific incident where a man messaged him, expressing his liking, and Josh2Funny had to pray for the man to be blind to deter him.
Feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable, Josh2Funny decided to retire the Mama Felicia character and introduce a new one, Brother Zacchaeus. He now uses the same accent but dresses in male clothes.
Josh2Funny, whose real name is Josh Alfred, rose to fame with his viral skit #DontLeaveMe. He wants to focus on making people laugh without the unwanted attention.
