Gone are the days when many aspiring acts run to form long queues at talent shows just to get a shot at the limelight. Today, online comedy has taken over and everyone now has a fair shot at fame, using different formats and acts.

One such popular act is the trend of male comedians using the female persona, exaggerated mannerisms, and dressing to sell their craft.

Here are male comedians making waves with the act.

Twyse Ereme

The Edo-born comedian plays multiple roles in his comedy series ‘Twyse and Family’. The major characters include Daddy Tobi, Mummy Tobi, Tobi, Taofeek, Sade, Ridwan, and grandma. He portrays the experiences faced in a typical African home.
