Q. IPGShow Open Mic Comedy- what's your take about the show?
"I think it's an open mic that every upcoming comedian should apply for, especially those who do gospel comedy. I see IPGShow as a ministry that supports gospel comedians and I see them moving to a height where the eagles soar and I believe so much in this magnificent dream.
Yours

PROFILE:
Emeka Ihesiaba Wisdom aka (Mc Mekus)
Status: Single
Base: Lagos
Year you started comedy: 2011
Q. Brief history about growing up.
I was born to the family of Mr and Mrs Chijioke Ihesiaba in Ngor Okpala local government area, Imo state, which we later relocated to lagos in 1998.
Attended State primary school (1998-2005), Iloro junior grammar school (2005-2008), Ope olu Comprehensive College (2008-2010). Growing up as a young person it wasn't that easy for me as am from a humble background but I can say we are well to do now.
After I finished my secondary school in 2010 there was no job so I had to work hard to get the necessary things of life, I hustled for two years before I got a job in 2012 as office assistance at TREM Valley Estate, Which really helped me to build my Christian life. I worked for two years before I got admission into the higher institution, (Emdee Shipping and Maritime College, Apapa studying shipping management).
Q. What's your take about gospel comedy?
Like I do tell people that am a comedian with a difference, I have been doing gospel comedy over the years. I have performed in different churches, to mention but few, virtually all TREM Churches within Lagos, Sovereign World Church, also performed in Gospel concerts like Laphitah, Efizzy Jeans Concert, EOCC Music concert.
By the Grace of God I have been on same stage with people like Akpororo,Mc Ajele, Mc Pamtop, Boy of God, Eben, Kenny Kore, Evelle, BB Luis, Blinx Cavalli, Provabs, Lc beatz, Oc Lambert and others. My aim in comedy is to take gospel comedy to another level whereby churches will no longer have to call worldly people to their pulpit to minister, Cos I see comedy as a ministration.
You can impact lives with comedy. Like my Bishop (Dr. Mike Okonkwo Presiding Bishop of TREM) will say that we should make a formidable impact in our world for the kingdom, which I believe I am doing with my comedy.
