The exit of Night of a Thousand Laughs

Follow @NaijaTalkative







WTF? Nigeria's Leading Comedy Show- Night of a Thousand Laughs will no longer be staged nor shot again.
The show which has been run for 16 years was reported to be no more.
Below are quotes from the show's director- Opa Williams giving reasons for stopping the running of Night of a Thousand Laughs:

“When we started Nite of A Thousand Laughs in 1995, we were the only comedy show, we were the real, and Nigerians witnessed something fresh and unique. Jokes were original and audience actually laughed a ‘thousand’ times. Consequently, the show produced superstar comedians who got their first break on the stage of Nite of A Thousand Laughs. These comedians went ahead to start their own shows. These shows became clones of Nite of A Thousand Laughs. It turned out to be a ‘see one, see all shows’. “The fallout is that the audience paid dearly for this as they are short changed without knowing it. As a pioneer, in fact the arrow head of the comedy revolution in Nigeria, I decided I won’t be part of short-changing the audience. So, Nite of A Thousand Laughs is stepping aside, to retain its dignity” -Opa Williams

I will miss this fantastic comedy show!
