Renowned skit creator Brain Jotter boldly shares his choice to abandon the concept of employing a transvestite theme in his sketches.
The creator of the sketch, Chukwuebuka Emmanuel Amuzie, acknowledged that he had previously crossdressed as Madam Ogadi before deciding to adopt a different persona.
During a recent interview on Channels TV’s Rubbin‘ Minds with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Brain Jotter said that he stopped crossdressing because, unless done extraordinarily well, it is not a sustainable method.
He claimed that in order to be done well, crossdressing calls for a great degree of talent and commitment.
According to him;
“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.”
