Lifestyle
Company, MTN Nigeria last Friday,
took the art of comedy to another level entirely with the launch of a new
service, Comedy+, the first-of-its
kind in Nigeria.
Comedy+
aggregates comedy contents in six categories:
skit, animation, stand-up comedy,
episodes, pranks and live comedy.
Subscribers can access these contents and keep up with their favorite comedians
by downloading the app on their
mobile phones from the respective app stores.
An
initial 1 month free access period
is available upon first time download and log-in by sending COMEDY to 2100. Subsequent access is
subscription based. The app can also be downloaded via http://comedy.mtnonline.com
Old
comedy videos and skits from popular Nigerian comedians are available on the
platform while upcoming comedians have the opportunity to build their fan base
via the app by uploading their contents on it.
The
platform was launched at a convivial ceremony at Club Rumours in Victoria Island and it had in attendance, some of
Nigeria’s finest witty minds such as Koffi,
Saka, Nedu, Ushbebe, Emmaohmygod, Senator, Etinosa, Longmancomedian, MCShakara, Stillringing,
Mark Angel, Monica Friday, Wofaifada,
Josh2funny, Ebiye, Deeone, Bellokreb, Romeowj.
Pioneers
of the comedy industry, Opa William
and Ali Baba who attended the event
were specially recognized with awards for their immense contribution to the
growth of the comedy industry
For the
horde of comedians present at the event, Comedy+ is welcome initiative that
will provide adequate exposure and reward for their talent. They were all in
agreement that Comedy+ is a befitting reward platform for their creativity that
is coming at the time when the comedy industry needs coordination.
