Bright Okpocha popularly called Basketmouth has  always sold out his shows outside the shores of Africa.  He has explained why his comedy shows abroad have been hugely successful

“I try as much as possible to make my materials universal. So that way, I don’t goof. When I come the UK to do my gigs or even in America, I try as much as possible to avoid saying anything about Nigeria. These guys don’t know anything about Nigeria. My jokes are always universal, which is the reason I can easily break into those grounds.”

Basketmouth is currently in Wembley where he met the Mayor of London ahead of his comedy show: Lords Of The Ribs.
