Lecrae once said, “We judge people based on their clothes, social class, and, dare I say, ethnicity. Our comedians make light of these stereotypes regularly, and we laugh at their accuracy,” comedians have been the most observant and yet very much on their feet to change those observations into something funny.

In one of his conversations, he mentioned, ‘Dreams are supposed to come true, that’s why we call them dreams. If you are not passionate enough and if you are just there living on somebody else’s terms, you shall never dream. I had a dream of becoming the comedian I am today and it wasn’t that easy to crack an opportunity, but I kept dreaming and working towards making it possible. Here I am happy that I had no Plan B in life and so never got diverted while trying to chase my dream. It is important to know your dream and look for the path to achieve that dream. Rest shall fall in place.’ His dream of becoming a comedian was now no longer a dream and his story is a hearty one to inspire many in today’s world.
