TIPTOPSTARS

Unless you are an alien in performance arts, it would not be strange that an actor with a BSc in Psychology would be such a great performer on set. In most cases where they did not formally train to become actors in a Performing Arts and Cinematography program in the university, acting runs in the blood. That is the case with Lilian Mbeng Nkemasong, now the famous Caro of Capees Comedy World. It took the Capees Comedy World initiative to beam Lilian’s acting prowess to the world, something her immediate film industry sluggishly struggled on. It was rough in the past, as she made frantic efforts in building her film acting, a passion held and still does in exceedingly high esteem. Even when the University of Buea graduate who hails from the South West Region made it from town to town to pick movie roles, these trips only resulted to poor pay and at times, zero franc. Giving up had never been an option, so the talented actress pressed on and consistently showed up for assignments, defying all odds.

Through her acting exploits which went underway in 2016, Lilian has used her brilliant performance in telling stories in films including Three Wives (TV series on CRTV), Tears in Pain, Efeyo, Little Sam, Big Sam, A Pluses, Maestro (TV series – upcoming), BIBI La Fleur, Agony and When-It-Ends.

While the Buea-based actress crisscrossed movie sets to tell stories via what she knows best, Lilian’s comedy endowment laid low in a resting place, hoping for an opportunity to arise until Capees Comedy World showed up to ring the waking bell 12 months ago. Cloned to an acting mate, the famous Lovert Lambe aka Copees, Lilian’s outpour of talent became comparable only to the waves of water from a punctured dam. Today, the first daughter in a family of five children, is a force to reckon with when it comes to comedy performance.



Lilian, Caro, and Lovert, Copees, run what is now described as the most successful comedy project in Cameroon, Capees Comey World which produced weekly skits, released every Friday. They work with a big team of people comprising actors and technicians, but their biggest asset is the 16,000 subscribers on their YouTube channel.

Over the months Caro and Copees have entertained their audience with mouth-watering pieces such Kwacoco Go Sweet So?, Over Know, Poke-Nose, Electric Bill, Cleaners, Long Hand, Repentance, Cunny, Njangi, Marriage Counsellors, Public Tap, etc.
