##Good news first — Mr Macaroni don do am again!**
Popular comedian and actor, Debo Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has earned a Master of Arts degree with Distinction in Performance (Acting) from the Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in London.
He announced it himself on Wednesday with a video from his graduation ceremony. In the video, he was in full graduation regalia — blue gown, peach hood and cap — walking across the stage to collect his certificate. He thanked God, his family, friends and fans for standing by him through the journey.
He said completing the degree challenged him in so many ways, but he is glad he embarked on the journey of personal and professional development.
And fans no waste time at all. Once the news dropped on Instagram, the comment section turned to celebration ground. Fans, fellow actors and skit makers flooded his page with congratulatory messages, calling him an inspiration and proof that you can be funny and still be serious about your craft.
This one matters a lot for skit makers and actors. For a long time, many people see skit making as just cruise, not real acting. But Mr Macaroni just showed that you can start from Instagram skits and still go for proper training at one of the top drama schools in London and finish with distinction.
It is also a big motivation for young creatives who want to upgrade themselves. Talent can open the door, but training like this can keep you relevant for a long time.
What makes it even more impressive is the sacrifice behind it. He had to balance life between Lagos and London, missing some lucrative gigs in Nigeria just to stay focused on his studies and finish strong.
Congrats to Mr Macaroni — distinction no be beans!
