Having turned 50 on Wednesday, June 24, 2015, accomplished comedian Ali Baba said in a recent interview with Punch that he doesn’t see other comedians as a threat. Instead, he sometimes writes jokes for them.
“Why should I be threatened by them? How would I be giving them jokes? If I were, I won’t give them my jokes, and I would tell them not to use my jokes. I make jokes and give to some of them. So, there is nothing like being threatened by them. The bottom line is that the day you begin to feel threatened by some other up-and-coming comedians, then you are on your way out. You’re supposed to be somebody they look up to, not somebody they compete with.” he said.
