‘I am not in London begging for money’ – Bismarkthejoke

Published on July 31, 2014

Ghanaian promising actor, Bismark Odoi, has frowned on reports making round in Ghana that he was begging on the street of London on a news carried on an edition of UTV’s Entertainment News few days ago.

The video which was uploaded onto the Official Youtube Channel of the comedian on July 5 who is currently filming in UK has said that he is not too happy with the way the news was reported.

“I am not in UK begging for money. I am in UK shooting movies here, and I have been here for the past one month. The short video UTV based on that I was begging for money was a video taken from a short comic video I shot here in UK; so for someone to say I am stranded and begging in UK for money is wrong,” he furiously lamented.

On the comparison people are making between him and Kalybos, he said that; Kalybos is doing well, and he is happy that he (Kalybos) is bagging corporate endorsement deals as a comedian.

“Kalybos and I are on different patterns. What he does is different from what I do but I don’t think if I have jobs with good offers in UK, I should still remain in Ghana. I want to be at the top,” he explained.

He stated that; not too long ago, people were comparing him to Funny Face and even tried to bring competition between him and Funny Face – now that new talent has popped up, they want to bring competition between him and the new talent – Kalybos.

To him; he will urge people to try and encourage new talents by not by killing the old ones, so we can all help to push the comic industry.
