I heard there is a new comedian in town. Well, he’s not very
new. All I know is, he gives very amusing answers. I can’t call them cheeky,
because that would be rude. I can’t say they are witty, that would make his
head big. I follow him on Facebook, so I know what I am talking about.
That was just by the way.
Too much chemical Khemikal can make you laugh. Too much
laughing gas can make you laugh.
Sorry, for the lame introduction.
Marietta: Why the name
Khemikal? Is there a story behind your name?
Khemikal: I was
the one of the best students in my school and in my class. And a good science
student. A friend gave me the name because I was truant and never stable with
class and studies.
Marietta: Oh wow. Thanks
to him.
Khemikal: Yeah
Marietta: Who would you
say are your influences in the comedy world?
Khemikal: Trevor
Noah, Eddie Griffin, George Carlin
Marietta: And how did you
meet comedy? Because being a Science student and doing stand-up comedy doesn’t
seem to match.
Khemikal: I
started when I was in my last year at the University of Ghana. I was advised to
do it and I did.
Marietta: What do you do
apart from being a stand-up comedian?
Khemikal: Well I
can do a lot of things and that's kinda annoying cuz I still don't know what do
choose. I wanted to attend medical school but finance prevented me.
Like this one??? |
Marietta:
Oh ok.
Do you think that if you were to be a medical doctor, you would still be a
comedian?
Khemikal: Honestly,
I don’t know. But if you insist on a definite answer, I’d say yes.
Marietta: What was the
best gig you ever performed?
Marietta: What is the
dumbest rumour you have heard about yourself?
Khemikal: Never heard any
Marietta: Tell us a day
in the life of Daniel Selase.
Khemikal: I sleep….and think….and read
sometimes…..and listen to music….and
write code small
Marietta: Really? What do
you read?
Khemikal: Opinions, science fiction, motivation,
text books, religious texts.
Marietta: Suggest three
books for us to read.
Khemikal: Angels and Demons, Da Vinci Code, Year
of the Hangman and the Prophet by Khalil Gibran
Marietta: Ok. What kind
of music do you enjoy?
Khemikal: Any. Once it’s nice, I’ll listen. But
my favourite music artiste is Sia.
Marietta: Alright. What
do you hope to achieve in the next 10 years?
Khemikal:
Be an
influential stand-up comedian, a giver, a forex trader, a businessman, a
husband and a father
Marietta: Amen. What is
your most embarrassing memory from childhood?
Marietta: Ok. No wahala. What
is your favourite place to hang out?
Khemikal: Rinas Restaurant at Osu
Marietta: This is such an
old question but I want to ask you what three things would you take with you to
a deserted island?
Khemikal: Food, shelter and my girlfriend
Marietta: How would you
carry the shelter?
Khemikal: It could be anything. Like them tour buses.
Marietta: You’re right.
So, cake or pie? Which one do you prefer?
Marietta: Fun Question:
Describe the colour yellow to someone who is blind.
Khemikal: It feels like fire when you get close
to it.
Marietta: Nice. Any
upcoming events?
Marietta: Ok, where
should we get ticket to buy?
Khemikal: At the gate.
Marietta: Alright. Ask
yourself a question, and then answer it.
Khemikal: Question: How are you? Answer: I have
a cold. What do you think?
Marietta: Thank you so
much for honouring this interview. We are done
Marietta: Go on ahead.
Khemikal: Have you eaten?
Marietta: Yes please I

Asem oo.
