The young creative hails from Kauxwi, a village about five kilometers from the Mohembo Bridge in the northwest part of Botswana. In an interview with Arts&Culture, he explained that growing up in Kauxwi, he was always surrounded by people who loved storytelling and laughter. He said he then realised early on that humour had the power to connect people, lighten their mood during difficult times and spread happiness. He pointed out that his natural love for making people laugh inspired him to take comedy seriously
. “I officially started my comedy journey in 2019. Before that, I used to entertain family and friends informally, but 2019 is when I began performing for the public. I have grown a lot both personally and professionally. My confidence on stage also improved, my storytelling skills sharpened, and I learned to read audiences better. I have also expanded my comedy to reach more people through social media platforms and live performances,” he stated. Locally, Major BW said he has been inspired by legends like Maatla Ephraim Basha and William Last KRM while internationally, comedians like Trevor Noah and Kevin Hart had greatly influenced him with their storytelling techniques and stage presence. This young man added that he specialises in relatable and observational comedy because he believes in telling stories that people could relate to. He also said he wanted his audience to laugh but also reflect on everyday life through his jokes.
