Born Daniel Selase, Comedian Khemikal has indicated that he finds comedy as one of the strongest mode of communication, hence �Communicating with people in the comic form has been always been the easiest way for me to communicate with people aside it being a passion.� �It is the flexible way I communicate my thoughts and sentiments to others in order for them to easily relate, learn, and utilize the information that I share with them,� he added. According to him, �I love making people happy, it takes them out of their worries and anytime I make someone laugh or make someone happy, I feel happy myself.� Gaining his inspiration from personal experiences as well as the experiences of others, �the fact that people applaud me for my works anytime I�m done performing is also something that uplifts my urge to make people laugh their hearts outs.� He added that he is also inspired by watching other stand-up comedians and satirists perform including great comics enthuse like KSM, DKB, and Foster, �I love what they do and the fact that they love what they are doing; it overwhelms my desire to look up to them the more.� He mentioned other role models like South African comic, Trevor Noah; Eddie Griffin and Dave Chappelle in the United States of America and the lates, Richard Pryor and George Carlin. Outlining his �2015 To-Achieve� list, Khemikal said, �4-years down the comedy lane, I am working on becoming a satirist and a social commentator where I can use my humor to point out and address issues that needs to be taken serious in the society.� �There are a lot of problems that needs to be addressed but it appear no one wants to care, but this year, I will step up my game to do that. I want to see myself as one of the influential and biggest stand up comedians in Ghana and Africa before the year ends,� he affirmed. With his style of blending comic-chemical, Khemikal has performed on such platforms as �Corporate Comedy Series� by David Oscar; �DKB Live Tour�; �Comedy Fiesta� by Foster; �Comedy Bar� and recently, �KSM at 58�.
