Well-known skit creator Brain Jotter speaks candidly about why he decided against employing a transvestite theme in his sketches.
The creator of the sketch, Chukwuebuka Emmanuel Amuzie, acknowledged that he had previously taken on the persona of Madam Ogadi before changing it.
Brain Jotter stated that he stopped crossdressing because, unless done extraordinarily well, it is not a sustainable method in a recent interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Channels TV’s Rubbin’ Minds program.
He claimed that crossdressing is difficult to carry off without a great deal of talent and commitment.
In his own words;
“I have a friend who is advising me to start making content as a crossdresser. I’m not interested because I’ve tried it before.
“There was a time I was creating content with the character Madam Ogadi in a church and the audience were applauding my performances. So it got to my head and it was almost a niche for me. But then I realised that cross-dressing is not sustainable for me. I just don’t buy the idea because it won’t last. People might enjoy it once or twice, but you’re not a woman. Except you are doing it exceptionally well.
“You can’t be wearing a woman’s clothes with beards.”
