Josh2Funny: “The year after my viral ‘don’t leave me challenge’, everything went down for me”

- How did Josh2Funny go from high school drop out to being one of Nigeria’s truly international comic acts - delivering multiple trending topics from ‘gbas gobs’ to ‘don’t leave me’?
How did he survive feeling he was inferior to his peers in secondary school (he said to me “poverty defined my life” to being supremely confident today?
He shares exclusively the testimony of how he was praying when he got the call from America’s Got Talent. He tells me how that is the most beautiful moment that has ever happened in his life.
This made me smile so much.
But he tells me that after he was on America’s Got Talent, some of his family and friends told him he messed up! And then the very first comment he saw on social media was a negative one from a blogger.
What did that teach him? Why is he going into music next? And how did he survive a surgery last year after about 11 years (!) of excruciating pain - and why didn’t he do the surgery earlier?

He was not auditioning at the AGT he was doing a skit to entertain the audience. People just did not understand
Exactly😂 the guy is Good joor
The first time I’m seeing him speak seriously at length,and I couldn’t be more glad👏🏼
Such an articulated Wise Man
Remember this - "Anybody can go down and everybody can come up".
Josh is very intelligent. Calm and collected. To be very honest, I enjoyed every bit of this episode.
I watch that audition an unheathy number of times and its finny every single time. 😂
When I first heard he went to AGT, my first reaction was to laugh and my first statement was: this guy don carry this Im mumu go international stage😂? I enjoyed every bit of that audition. Josh Na talent abeg
His humility is follow come . That’s the power of following process on your way up .
This is the best Chude's interview I've watched in a while. Thank you, Chude, for bringing Josh2Funny on. I'm proud of him, and his AGT performance was a blast. I completely loved it for him. I hope he gets more global opportunities.
I just feel in love with josh. He is so calm and soft spoken.
I enjoyed every bit of this interview. I’ve always loved Josh’s jokes. His sarcasm is really high intellect.
Honestly, I love his personality. He is quite intelligent.
Awww 😊 Josh Josh
The love I have for Josh2funy is nothing close to that of a lizard chasing the carpenters goat on the sea in the North 😊
Sometimes, the world can speak but the drummer's dance reminds me of the man who is directly looking for the monkey 🐒. Look, the first step to success is cooking groundnut soup without the farmer's dog😢😊😊
😂😂😂
Only a Josh2Funny's fan can do this
What?… I’m sorry, what?… Please come again. Better still, don’t. Ahnahn!
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
You write like a woman whose left leg has hands that did not eat two plates of water in a calabash of mineral salt in the farm of our great-grandchildren
Intelligent and Well composed
The audition is not scripted?
Wow...massive respect, man
Dear Josh2funny, I really enjoyed your session with Chude.
I have always loved your dry human jokes maybe because I studied physics or because I am just not normal too. You're human with a complete understanding of where you're coming from, going & thus, do not expect anything good or bad from human beings. High Expectations not received have killed many relationships. All the best in your future endeavors.
Am really impressed. He knows how to answer good questions. I enjoyed this conversation.
Anybody can go down and anybody can come up.
Much respect Josh
One of the wisest of them all. God bless you Josh.
Wow 🤩
Lots of love Josh
I'm a big fan of Josh2Funny❤❤
Very well spoken. This guy is extremely talented. Listened to his new song and I was marveled.
A Nepali friend, and next door neighbour in China, called to inform me that 'the fastest reader in the world is from your country. Haven't you seen it in the Guinness Book of World Records?'.
I was like who and when was that? 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 but I laughed from beginning to the end of your performances
Loved this interview. Josh has a good head on his shoulders.
Josh2funny, you were extremely brilliant on that stage.
Intelligent guy, I enjoyed every bit of that hid audition. His sense of humor is unique...
As a zambian i understand his jokes nigeria why nah
Oga chude! Thank you for this interview shaaa, clearing my doubts. I almost had heart attack when I watched the agt show shaaa
I am happy I vhose to love this guy regardless. 🎉
You will just know who is humble. Character is like flame. It's evident in his ways that he his indeed a non-problematic and humble guy
Seeing him in yo maps song nga teh ba yaweh added spicy
Josh2funny is comedy personified💯👍👏
Anybody can go down, anybody can come up... Wow... That hit hard
Great guy Josh, really great guy
A lot of people didn't get his joke early it was until later they realised he was a comedian .
The American audience couldn't relate too until later
I laughed myself to tears with Josh on AGT
Loved this
Josh. Love him😊
Humble background…
Fear makes you humble enough to prepare properly.

I love nijerian they are born comedian
The look in his eyes. It’s hollow. I hope he is surrounded by people who love him genuinely. He might benefit from having a therapist.
Anybody can come down and anybody can come up!
Much love Josh love ur comedy ♥️
Prayer works ❤. Beautiful story too 😊
I love this interview
I love Josh so much
Thank you Josh2funny for the STUPIDITY WITH GREAT INTELLIGENCE skits you always dish out to us. We the intellectuals love it. 😅
Curiosity made me ask, sorry, Curiosity brought me here
It's the last statement for me, Josh2funny was not Just2funny, the guy is real
I can too! ❤
Life 🧬
Even this interview, I still don’t trust Josh, he no dey ever dey serious 😂
😂
👌✨ Ping!!!
So is he saying Nigeria hasn't many high intelectuals ? Lol!
We don’t. The illiteracy and ignorance rate is very high. Let’s not lie let’s not steal.
What an insult ? Your jokes require high intellect to relate, that’s why you don’t have fans in Nigeria, what does that mean
Baba me tire oo😅
It means that his jokes are different from the norm so only people with a certain type of humor can relate. Most Nigerians are used to a particular and straight forward types of jokes
It's not necessarily an insult
You must realize that we Nigerians don't have the patience for such jokes or music that require critical thinking, we prefer more straight forward jokes as such.
That's just how it is
This your comment aptly validates his statement!
You proof him right
Nigerians are some of the most intelligent people so don't say high intellect in ur joke content makes u have few fans in Nigeria
That's not what he said. Can you watch again with an open mind?
😂😂
