This week I’m joined Tolulope Ogunmefun (Oh Goon May Fun) who is more famously known as comedian Don’t Jealous Me. Tolu’s Youtube channel has amassed over 41 million views on Youtube and was the star of his show the T-boy show. He has been cast in Sick Note on SKY 1 starring Rupert Grint, and recently Man Like Mobeen on the BBC. Tolu has just released his first children’s book titled ‘The Frog and his Dancing shoes.’




In today’s episode, we talk about the point he felt like giving up and what happens when the work you love starts to feel like work. Tolu opens up about his desire to have his ‘big break’. He defines what success means to him and why he still considers himself to be successful. We cover how he was able to meet his agent and his Manager and the impact that they have had on his career. As well as when he got into hot water with Michaela Coel.


The key takeaways for you guys are: how to rebrand and develop your career when you are known for being one thing. How to diversify your offering and knowing when to get an Agent or Manager and how to deal with and overcome online controversy.
