It’s better late than never. We were at the last Naija Kings of Comedy show in London, UK. The undeniably funny train from Nigeria touched ground at the O2 Arena last month. On the card to perform for 2 days, 1st in London and then another date February 14, 2012 (Valentine Day) in Manchester at the Birdcage were Basketmouth, I go Dye, I go Save, Bovi, Buchi, Dan D-Humorous and Senator. It wasn't just comedy all the way though, as the comedians were ably supported by 2 of the hottest guys on the music scene right now- the only Omo baba olowo himself-DAVIDO of Dami duro fame and the man with the master Flava himself - FlavoUr Nabania.

Truth be told, it was one of the best organised show one has gone to in a long while, the other part of it was that the Jokes were fresh, the punch line was spontaneous and infectiously hilarious and the delivery on point, the capacity crowd at the venue attested to the fact that they got value for their money.

The fact is, these guys can lay claim to be the Naija Kings of Comedy truly- the host was Basketmouth himself, whose mouth really leaked as he dropped one banger after the other to the delight of all, just as an introduction. He later introduced the 1st comedian- Senator- whose delivery while dropping rib-cracking jokes is unmatchable, imagine killing people with laughter and keeping a straight face. Then was the turn of Dan D-Humorous followed by I go Save, then Buchi whose mimicry and gesticulations threw people on the floor, he was followed by Bovi the Hilarious and the show was 'killed' totally by I go Dye who in our estimation is one of the most natural comedian ever, we do not think I go dye would have survived doing anything else but comedy, when he is on stage, he is in his perfect habitat, his every move, the way he talks, everything about him is a joke!!!. The man-Bright Okpocha AKA Basketmouth has so matured over the years, that his effortless gait and mannerisms shows a man, who is on top of his game and many comedians had better wake up, cos he is going to reign for a long while.
