Victoria Island stands still for Glo Laffta Fest.


Trending Afrobeat Star Burna Boy performing to  an ecstatic audience at the Victoria Island Lagos edition of Globacom’s comedy and music concert, Glo Laffta Fest (Season 4), which held at  the Eko Hotel and Suites over the weekend.

Sunday, September 6, 2015 will remain indelible in the minds of Glo subscribers who attended the Laffta Fest comedy show at the Eko Hotels and Suites Victoria Island, Lagos venue of the event. Guests numbering over 6,000 thronged the venue from Victoria Island and environs, to relish top of the range comedy and music.
The list of comedian billed to perform at the show would tell probing minds that the guests were in for a night of unlimited entertainment. The guests roared endlessly with laughter while the comedians performed.
The comedians which include Ace comedian, AY, Bovi, Basketmouth, I go dye, Seyi Law, Funny Bone and Gordons performed beyond expectation, jolting the guests off their seats intermittently. Salvador who arrived from Uganda to perform at the show, blended into the Nigerian comedy sphere with ease. His jokes revolved around Nollywood errors and Nigerian foods.

Musical artistes were not left out of the groove as top Glo ambassadors; Wizkid and Burna Boy performed veritably, eliciting cheers from the enthusiastic crowd. It wasn’t surprising when their fans rushed towards the stage to have a feel of the super stars. The manner in which Basket Mouth introduced the comedians in turns was dramatic and entertaining.
Bovi was outstanding. His style of stand-up comedy was engaging and interactive. He introduced the fastest-fingers game into his show, calling out a set of recharge card digits for the audience to load. He raised the bar when he invited a number on guests on stage to recite the national anthem.

Okey Bakassi was in his best element. He took the show a notch higher later in the evening when he cracked the King Solomon joke. He dexterously dove-tailed his jokes, such that one wouldn’t be aware when he move to another joke.

Other personalisties who attended the show include; comedienne Helen Paul, Dija, Rickardo Banks, Deputy Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon.
