Sensational comedian and actor, Josh Alfred, popularly known as Josh2Funny has opened up on why he no longer dresses as a woman in his skits.
The content creator made a shocking revelation that he faced unwanted advances from male fans while playing the feminine character, “Mama Felicia”.
Josh disclosed this when he appeared on an episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, explaining that it was what influenced his decision to abandon the Mama Felicia character and adopt ‘Brother Zacchaeus’.
According to the content creator, that switch has helped him to avoid further embarrassment as there were men who even got his phone number and were wooing him on WhatsApp.
Josh2Funny said; “You see, difference between me and some other people wey dey do female character, my own was straight comedy. Anybody wey go see me like me no really get sense, no really know where e dey go because I made sure it was stvpid.
“Mama Felicia is a stvpid character, it was straight stvpid. I had a lot of advances. E get one guy, the guy came to my WhatsApp and was like I really like you, I went straight to him and I said bro I’m going to pray and you’re going to be blind in two weeks, the guy begin beg me. Why you go see me, like me?

“E join why I leave the character. It was Mama Felicia I turned Brother Zacchaeus. Instead of wearing female dress, I had to drop it and start putting on male clothes, using the same accent. It was becoming embarrassing for me because I mean I just want to make people laugh.”
