The Onitsha edition of the show is billed for CJ Patterson International Auditorium Complex, All Saints Cathedral, Onitsha at 2pm and will feature some of Nigeria’s wittiest and best comedians, such as Bovi Ugboma, Godwin Komone, popularly called Gordons, Frank D Don and Senator, among others.

The Onitsha edition of the show will be anchored by the duo of Juliet Ibrahim and Uche Jombo, while dignitaries and very important personalities from all walks of life are expected to be in attendance.

“It is going to be an extra-ordinary Independence Day celebration in Onitsha on Sunday. The show has gone round major cities in Nigeria, dispensing uncommon fun and excitement. Onitsha will be no different. People of Onitsha and environs should prepare to have fun like never before”, Globacom said in a press release from its head office in Lagos.

“Onitsha, get ready for us as we come on Sunday. We are going to give you like you like it, hot and spicy. It’s going to be fun like you’ve never seen before,” said Bovi.
