The stage is set for weekend’s Glo Lafftafest event tagged
Invasion LOL, as the international comedians billed to perform at the mega show
arrive Nigeria today.
Among the international stars expected to arrive today are
two prominent American comedians, Tony Roberts and Deeray Davis and two of
Africa’s foremost comerians, Ndumiso from South Africa and Salvado from
Uganda. The show will hold at Eko Hotel, Lagos this Saturday.
Tony-Roberts and Deeray Davis
The foursome will join Nigeria’s best stand-up comedy acts
and musicians such as the legendary Ali Baba, Basketmouth, the sensational
twins, PSquare, Wande Coal, the great saxophonist, Lagbaja and a host of other
talented comedians to delight Nigerians as part of activities marking the 10th
anniversary of Globacom.
Basketmouth said that before the Glo Invasion LOL, “the
practice has always been for Nigerian artistes to travel abroad to perform
while these foreign artistes hardly come to perform in Nigeria. I cannot even
recall in my experience in the industry where any A-list American comedian has
come to perform in Nigeria. So, this is a big plus to Globacom, a company that
has done so much to promote entertainment in this country.”
A company that has opened a lot of opportunities to the
Nigerian artistes to showcase their talents and make a living from it.”
He further explained that the show is free. “All anybody who
wishes to attend the show needs to do is to recharge his or her Glo line with
at least N1,000 and text LOL Lagos to 33001 and the invite will be sent to the
person”.
Globacom had in a statement issued penultimate week in Lagos
said that it is putting the show together to demonstrate that “there is no
limit to the extent we can go to delight our numerous subscribers”, adding that
the international artistes would also perform in Abuja on October 26.
