However, his natural flair for comedy caught the attention of colleagues, who encouraged him to step in front of the camera. “My coming in front of the camera was just, should I call it an accident,” Owoh recalled. “I was writing, writing, writing behind the scenes where they were shooting and recording. People kept telling me, ‘Come in front of the camera because you’re making people laugh behind the camera.’ With much pressure, I came in front of the camera, and I saw that people were buying it. That’s how things started.”
