Basketmouth,
Bovi, Gordons, Salvador from Uganda, Acapella and Bash pulled down the roof
over the oil-rich city of Port Harcourt on Easter Sunday at
Globacom’s trademark comedy bash, Laffta Fest, that is currently going around the country.
This
edition of the show will be remembered for a long time to
come as these grandmasters of comedy held Port Harcourt residents
spellbound for six hours at the ultramodern event centre, Aztech Arcum, Stadium
Road, Port Harcourt.
The show
organised by the grandmasters of data also featured home-grown talent, Arinze
Baba who went beyond expectation to rip the hall apart
with creative narratives and punch lines.
Arinze
Baba exited the scene amidst a groundswell of guffaws, cheers and applause from
the audience most of whom were on their feet.
The more
established comedians, Acapella and Bash sustained the tempo, while the
masters, Basketmouth, Bovi, Gordons and Salvador from Uganda, showed
clearly that they were the reference points in the continent’s
entertainment industry.
Globacom
also made room for budding comedians on the stage with the likes
of GSN and K.O. Baba who showed that they had a place in the future
of standup comedy. Nollywood legend, Richard Mofe-Damijo, ace actor,
Kanayo O. Kanayo, accomplished comedian, Victor Osuagwu and the goddess of
Nollywood, Patience Ozokwor brightened the night with their presence.
Members
of the audience also had opportunity to participate in a dancing competition that
produced three winners each in the male and female categories. The
winners went home with Glo-branded gift packs.
The Glo
Laffta Fest is scheduled to hold in 26 other cities including Awka, Ikeja,
Ikorodu, FESTAC , Ajah, Owerri; Asaba; Calabar; Enugu; Aba; Suleja, Kubwa, FCT,
Ibadan; Ijebu Ode; Abeokuta; Ekpoma; Kaduna; Akure; Lokoja; and Anyigba.

2017. Those wishing to attend the Abuja show or any of the other remaining
26 shows are expected to use up to N2,000 credit within one month and
