When he mounted the stage in that red hot power suit I held my breath
for a brief moment with a whiff of trepidation and in a very silent mood
I prayed that Funny Face would not fail his countrymen as others before
him had done.
As it turned out, my prayer was listened to and
the young comedian did not disappoint me, and I believe many others
among the audience. We all had a shared hope at the aptly named comedy
show A Night of 1010 Laughs and Music sponsored by MTN last Saturday
night that our brother from Ghana, being the only one on stage with
numerous other Nigerian comedians would not falter.
