One of Nigeria’s leading ‘Stand-up’ comedians, Ayo Makun has reacted to trending comments about his acts which has seen him become very popular in the entertainment industry.

Popularly referred to as “AY”, the wave making ‘Stand-Up’ comedian took to his verified twitter handle to provide some very needed clarifications about his shows that have turned out in huge profits, running into the six digits figures.
