Mainland Laffs
Entertainment in Lagos is set to experience a major boost this December with the return of Mainland Laffs, a comedy show that offers a refreshing approach to family entertainment.
The event, which is set to take place at D’Podium International Event Centre, Aromire Avenue, Off Adeniyi Jones, Ikeja is being organized by Trevent Company, one of the fastest growing event solution companies in Lagos.
Speaking about the idea behind the show, the Executive Producer of the Show, John Odiboh promised that Lagosians are in for an exciting evening with their rich lineup of top comedians, actors and musicians.
Odiboh said: “The Mainland Laffs has the usual attractions like standup comedy, pantomime comedy, musical performances, and stage drama. However, because of our resolve to make this a family delight, there will also be children performances, play courts for children, arcade games and even photo booths.”
He added that the USP of Mainland Laffs is Clean Entertainment. Hence it’s all about family entertainment as there is a need to bring back the days when families could come out together on Sunday afternoons and enjoy a comedy performance or entertainment evening together.
“We want to promote fun and entertainment, but in a healthy, wholesome way, that makes you happy yet in an instructive and safe way. So, we expect our guests to feel free to come with their children, nieces and nephews to enjoy that special family time out with good music, clean comedy/ music and loads of exciting games for the kids to enjoy,” he said.
Expected to entertain the audience with rib-cracking jokes are top Nigerian comedians like Josh2funny, Officer Woos, Ajebo, Ebute, Forever, Small Stout, Oniru and several others while Nollywood legends, Ayo Mogaji and Dele Odule, are also billed to make a special stage appearance in a one of its kind Pantomime comedy drama.
Also billed are a variety of children virtuoso performances to build the culture of the arts into our youths.
