The comedian, however, noted that the switch was "unplanned" and that he was stuck on the skit-making thing for three years before he finally got somewhere.

"I started making skits unplanned. It wasn't something I took seriously but it was gaining traction. At first, I was posting my skits on Facebook, and my Facebook friends seemed to like it. They encouraged me to do more. I just kept doing it. I did it for like three years. My fan base wasn't growing but the people who liked it liked it.

"At a point, I told my boss that I was quitting my lecturing job, and she was like, 'Are you sure you know what you're doing?' I'm done with lecturing. How much is the lecturer's salary?"
