In a recent interview with Sanyuka TV the legendary actor John Segawa made his thoughts clear on the difference between real comedians and plain jokers.
He stressed that comedy is a specialised art. A form of literature that needs to be carefully created.
He mentions that this form of literature (comedy) is specially created for learned people and not everyone is a target audience.
He stresses that the reason why the industry is failing today is because they create cheap skits that are sold to the general public thus ruining the entire purpose.
John said this in reference to the question asked by the interviewer of what he [John Segawa] thinks of Patrick Salvado’s comedy and he replied saying he doesn’t consider Salvado a comedian but rather simply an influencer.
John Segawa decried for media’s assistance and people to embrace theatre plays and comedy to revive the comedy industry that he feels has been diluted by TikTokers and comedians who are simply words-smiths and not creative enough.
John Segawa who sounded bitter towards stand-up comedians urged that drama should be an establishment which has discipline and appeals to all audiences.
