So can we meet you sir?

My name is Egbeleke Ademola Owolabi. I am from Oyo state, family of 6, and I am the second born. Graduated from the university of Ibadan, and I studied biochemistry. Hobbies includes playing games, swimming, hanging out, traveling, etc

When did u start comedy/MC and how did u come by the name Demo_pumpin

Started from Instagram in 2014, and the name demo_pumpin came from my friends back in secondary school

Does that mean Demo_pumpin is just your nickname which as well fits in to your comedy line?

Yes! As I always say… I pump people with laughter

So how have you been taking up the challenges considering the fact that you are an Ibadan based comedian?

Lol…. You asked about challenge, and for me the only challenge I know is in Ibadan, so it’s not an issue for me, fortunately Location has not really been a barrier, as I do a lot of jobs even outside Ibadan, my workspace is online, which makes me global irrespective of my location.

So on your comedy skits, what kicks your inspiration

Messi kicks my inspiration, cuz he is the best kicker I have seen around😀. On a more serious note tho… My inspiration comes from deep thinking, my friends and things that I see around me…The God factor can’t be taken away too tho

Who are Your 5 favorite comedians

Gbenga adeyinka, seyilaw, kennyblaq Lafup, & Peteru. In Nigeria

What is the Future of Nigeria comedy

The future is really bright. We have the biggest comedians in Africa. And we are gradually taking over

What are your plans for 2017

More skits, to start an online series, and to take skits to stage.

There is this notion that Demo_pumpin hates Ekiti girls… React to this

Loool, I don’t hate ekiti girls or anybody at all, I just love the controversy around ekiti, and I have had some really cool and at the same time razz ekiti friends, so I just thought to use them for my skits since Ibadan girls were being overused by others.
