Quarantine Questions: Athena Kugblenu
Eleven weeks into the UK’s coronavirus-induced lockdown, now is a time where we need comedy more than ever. Unsurprisingly, it’s also a time where it’s perhaps hardest to find something that’s actually damn funny. MoodyComedy is trying to remedy this.
What is the first thing you plan on doing once the lockdown is fully lifted?
As this government is probably going to lift lockdown too soon, I am going to pretend that we’re still living under restrictions for a week or two. I do not trust their decision making.
What’s your current lockdown binge watch?
I really liked Giri/Haji and got into Money Heist. Endless Doc McStuffins on Disney Plus cos the child is obsessed.
Has anything made you laugh recently?
I thought The Lovebirds on Netflix was hilarious
How are you trying to keep sane at the moment?
Continuing to work. I am going to restrict my social media use too as it’s a massive energy drain. Taking walks has been helpful. Naps help too.
What thing would you like to draw our attention to right now?
Hysteria. There is lots of it around at the moment. Sometimes we need calm and reflection too. Everyone is behaving as if they have the answers. If we all had the answers we wouldn’t be in the shitshow of a world we live in now. So calm and reflection is the way to go I think.
