'The psychiatric hospital made me feel more mentally unstable' — Funny Face

• Funny Face says his stay at a psychiatric hospital worsened his mental state instead of improving it.

• The comedian revealed that he acted like other patients to gain their trust and communicate comfortably with them.

• Funny Face recalled joining a patient who pretended to eat imaginary fufu, saying nurses later assumed he was also mentally unstable.

Speaking on Joy Prime, the comedian recounted that he felt overwhelmed by the environment and often had to adjust his behaviour in order to communicate and bond with other patients.

He explained that blending in was, in his view, necessary to gain the trust of those he was admitted with.

Funny Face noted that some patients shared personal stories about their lives before admission, while others offered unexpected moments of clarity and advice.

However, he added that patients tended to withdraw from anyone they suspected was behaving “normally”, making interaction more complex.
