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.
Anyway, go on ahead to read the interview.
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.

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?
Khemikal: Night of 1021 laughs and DKB point of
view. Oh and KSM at 58
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?
Khemikal: I’d rather not say.
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?
Khemikal: Cake
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?
Khemikal: Yes please
Marietta: Ok, where
should we get ticket to buy?
Khemikal: At the gate.

yourself a question, and then answer it.
