Nigerian comedian, Parrot Mouth, has alleged that Funny Face has breached a contract between them by failing to perform at his event after receiving payment.
According to him, Funny Face was booked to perform at a comedy show in Nigeria and was paid half of his performance fee (undisclosed), prior to the event.
Narrating further, he disclosed that Funny Face later demanded full payment before he could perform and they agreed to the arrangement.
However, Parrot Mouth said his manager later claimed that the Ghanaian comedian was not patient enough to wait for the full payment before breaching their deal.
He said they met at an event, where he (Parot Mouth’s manager), asked Funny Face to wait for the full payment to be made but later realized that he had left.
Parrot Mouth said Funny Face failed to show up at the main event and has since not reached out to refund the earlier half payment.
He also said Funny Face has since refused to answer calls or return them.
‘We paid half of the money. The artiste came
to the backstage area, and we all had fun. Then the artiste manager said, ‘You have to pay the balance.’ We promised that we would give his money to him before he climbed the stage. So, they [Funny Face and his manager] should just give us ten minutes.
‘Before Tosca [Parrot Mouth’s manager] came down, Funny Face had left. So, we had to call him more than 50 times, he didn’t pick up the call, and I didn’t even call him for a refund or write to him for anything. Because I believe that whatever you do will catch up with you,’ he said while speaking in an interview with Hitz FM and monitored by GhanaWeb.
Funny Face, however, is yet to respond to these allegations.
Funny Face’s ‘No Show’ allegations come on the back of ‘JamRok Event Center’s act of suing Mr. Drew, for failing to perform at their programme after being paid.
