Media Personality Bunmi
Davies is set to unveil his latest comedy project, a sitcom titled “Jeka Play”
premiering on Tuesday
May 31, 2016.
Named after popular
UNILAG restaurant and hangout spot Jeka Play, which he owns, the sitcom is
based on the interesting everyday events and happenings at Jeka Play, which is
the epicenter of the UNILAG social scene. In Jekaplay, he reprises his
role as the owner of the real life place as he encounters students, lecturers,
cool kids and assorted regular patrons at the venue.
Commenting on the
inspiration behind the show, Bunmi Davies remarked,
“My experience of
running Jekaplay at Unilag has been a very interesting one because by nature of
the kind of venue it is and the campus environment around, we get some really
interesting characters coming in all the time and there is never a dull moment
with them around. From the genuinely beautiful girls and guys to the “I must
belong by force” students, right down to the aristos, not forgetting the
student politicians with good, bad and funny motives, and of course a few randy
lecturers. It occurred to me that these everyday comedic experiences at
Jekaplay should be promoted to a wider audience thus the idea for the sitcom
was born”.
The show also features
cameo appearances from popular Yoruba movie actor Hafeez Oyetoro aka Saka,
Wazobia FM Presenter, Nedu amongst others.
It will be recalled
that prior forays into comedy by Bunmi Davies include Stand Up Nigeria, a
platform for upcoming stand-up comedians to showcase their talents and gain
exposure.
Jekaplay premieres at 6:30pm on Tuesday, May 31, 2016
on TV Continental, Star Times Channel 115.
