Again, fun lovers, in spite of the inclement weather, had a swell time at the weekend during the Stand Up Nigeria Sallah edition held at the Muson Centre, Onikan, Lagos.
It was obvious that the different groups of people who turned out to watch the show were weary of the tensed atmosphere that has, for some time, permeated the country, thereby seeking some moments of comic relief. This was particularly true as the hall was almost filled to capacity during the show, which climaxed with the performance by popular stand-up comedian, Odogwu.
Each show featured performances from a number of budding comic mongers who put the enthusiastic audience on the edge of their seats. They all literally seemed to be armed with their different pouches of jokes that made the audience totally immersed in the show. At intervals, some established acts also thrilled the audience with their repertoire of jokes.
Among the stand-up comedians whose performances received enthusiastic responses were Davidson, ATM, Longman, Odogwu, Bash and Omo Baba.
Some of the celebrities who graced the event were acting couple, Toyin Aimakhu and her husband, Niyi Johnson, Ibrahim Chatta, Omotunde ‘Lolo 1’ of Wazobia FM, Katherine Obiang, Kofi and Princess, among others.
Stand Up Nigeria, an entertainment show featuring talented stand-up comic, was created by Bunmi Davies. CEO, Afrotainment Productions.
