Gone were those days when people could easily say Ibadan is boring, with the emergence and the creative force the one-important southwest Nigerian comedian, Lafup, Ibadan is now bigger on the map when entertainment is concerned. His recent annually produced comedy show LAFUP LIVE has once again stamped his presence and force in his city and in the Nigerian comedy industry especially. With the double effect of his sold out two-shows in one day at the prestigious Jogor Centre, the roaring audience, a top class event management and topping the chat with his rib cracking, eloquent and out of this world joke, the LAFUP brand is becoming doubtlessly an A-list if not so already.

When ask what is responsible for this landmarks, Lafup would simply say, “when your content is true and original, you’ll get the job no matter where and when. Especially if you know how to interpret the brief, the brand managers won’t let you go… you’ll always be the guy for the job.” Enjoy the glitz and glamour of the show and watch out for the DVD coming soon ...
