Why we script every sketch (and never wing it)

The easiest thing in Nigerian comedy right now is to point a phone at a person, say something funny, and post it. We have nothing against that. But it is not what Love and Agro is.

We write scripts. Every sketch goes through a full writing session before anyone steps in front of a camera. This slows things down at the start and speeds everything up from there.

Writing makes the funny funnier

Improvised comedy can be sharp. But scripted comedy is consistent. When you have written a scene, you know which moment is the punchline. You know where the timing lives. The actors can rehearse until the delivery is natural, not just lucky.

Nigerian life gives us extraordinary material. The characters, the settings, the cultural pressure points: all of it is rich. Our job as writers is to shape that material into something that earns its laugh every single time.

Discipline is the differentiator

We post 2 to 3 times a week. Not 2 to 3 times a month. Not whenever inspiration strikes. Every week. That kind of consistency requires a process.

With scripts, we can plan a shooting day and capture three or four sketches. Without scripts, every filming session is a gamble. We do not gamble with our audience's time.

What this means for the audience

When you subscribe to Love and Agro, you know what you are getting. Nigerian comedy that is written like it matters, filmed like it counts, and uploaded on schedule.

That is the promise. And it starts with the script.
