The Journey to Comedy

  • 👑 He credits the "Kings of Comedy" movie as an early inspiration, recalling reciting Bernie Mac's set in fifth grade.
  • 🌟 Influences like Kevin Hart and Katt Williams, particularly his early specials, played a significant role in shaping his comedic aspirations.

Memorable and Wild Shows

  • ⚠️ Mojo recounts a particularly wild show in Dayton, Ohio, where a drunk audience member caused a scene, leading to their removal and a subsequent, albeit unfounded, legal threat.
  • 💡 He believes hecklers can be beneficial for his show, as his interactive style allows him to incorporate them into the performance, but only if they don't disrupt the overall vibe.
  • 🎭 He describes his current hour-and-a-half show as highly personable and interactive, featuring significant crowd work.

Social Media Strategy and Growth

  • 📈 Mojo emphasizes the importance of calculated content creation on social media, focusing on engagement metrics like comments and shares over likes.
  • 📱 He highlights how understanding algorithms and audience behavior is crucial for success, a skill he taught himself through trial and error on platforms like Instagram and Vine.
  • 🎯 His strategy involves creating content that resonates with local communities, using specific city details like mentioning an Airbnb in a particular neighborhood to drive engagement and ticket sales.
  • 📊 This approach has led to a significant increase in his male following and a boost in ticket sales for his shows.

Chicago Sports and Justin Fields

  • 🐻 Mojo is a staunch Chicago Bears fan, expressing hope for the team's future with quarterback Justin Fields.
  • 🏈 He believes Fields has the talent and physical gifts to be a star but needs the right situation and team support to succeed.
  • 🗣️ There's a discussion about the Bears' draft strategy, debating whether to draft a new quarterback like Caleb Williams or focus on building the team's infrastructure with offensive and defensive line help, and potentially drafting Marvin Harrison Jr.

Wild 'N Out Experience

  • 🎤 Mojo describes his time on Wild 'N Out as the most stressful job he's ever had, despite its success.
  • 🎤 He was initially hesitant to join the show due to fear of failure but was personally recruited by Nick Cannon.
  • 🌟 He credits Nick Cannon with providing a platform and opportunities for many comedians and performers of color, calling his contribution commendable.
  • 💡 He learned to embrace the show's format, focusing on being funny within the games rather than strictly adhering to rules, which ultimately led to him having fun and excelling.

Upcoming Projects

  • 🗓️ Mojo is currently on "The We Them Ones Comedy Tour" with Mike Epps, DC Young Fly, Chico Bean, and Carlos Miller.
  • 🎬 He has also filmed his first season of Wild 'N Out, with potential for more seasons, and has several movies in the works.
