no longer news that the Nigerian entertainment industry is thriving, taking a
much-coveted spot as one of the country’s largest exports.

it is the movie and music sub-industries that take the spotlight, with the
comedy sub-industry pushing behind.
Although
the comedy industry struggles for more relevance amongst its fellow
sub-industries, its impact on Nigerians cannot be underestimated.

comedians have been known to be able to find humor even in the face of a
crippling economy and abject poverty; putting together comedy shows all over
the country, bringing relief and laughter to understandably stressed Nigerians.
One of
such comedians cum actor is the vibrant Joseph Chinedu Victor, popularly known
as open teeth, who hails from Abia state but was born in the bubbly city of
Lagos.

Lagos State University, Victor found his passion in comedy, being the convener
of the annual comedy show THE THOUGHTS OF OPENTEETH
Regardless
of his status as a family man; with a wife and children, Victor has pushed
steadily and made his mark in the industry having worked with top organizations
such as Longrich international; both in Nigerian and China, as well as
MTN, UBA, Zenith Bank, Nigerian Port Authority, Nigerian Aviation Industry to
mention a few.

expertise spreads from stand-up comedy to MC at weddings, birthdays, lunches,
dinners, even getting featured in music videos for the likes of Korede
