  • Laffmattaz: Abeokuta Edition in Picture News

    Abeokuta was a beehive of Laffmatazz , a comedy show at its finest laced with live music performances from top Nigeria’s talents.

    Laffmattazz was birthed from a desire to promote comedy in the South Western region. This year’s edition kicked off in April at Ibadan and the grand finale that held in Abeokuta was a major shutdown!

    The show has continuously delivered  premium comedy and entertainment to Nigerians in the South West for more than six years and has managed to make each show better than the one before it. Laffmattazz in Abeokuta was not an exception, as it was definitely bigger and better.

    LaffMattazz “Loud In Abeokuta II, Independence Invasion” has come and gone, but it’s an experience that the people of Abeokuta will not forget in a hurry.

    The event which holds at D Dome, Akure, Ondo State, is tagged ‘The Invasion.’

    Adeyinka said the comedy show which usually holds on public holidays like Easter Sundays, Sallah, among others chose June 12 because of its symbolism in Nigeria.

    The comedy show is aimed at building new generations of comedians and taking premium quality entertainment to hitherto overlooked places.
