Bovi Man on Fire: A blend of comedy, politics and life

The Eko Convention Center was packed to capacity last Sunday as people came out en masse to witness the fourth, and final, edition of Bovi’s Man on Fire comedy special.

The show saw some new age comedians with styles similar to Bovi’s come on stage to deliver their materials. They gave a good account of themselves and put their best foot forward. As a young group of comedians, they seemed ready to rule the industry in no long time.

The audience laughed at the relatable jokes and stories anchored in themes such as politics, lifestyle, and socio-cultural issues. The evening’s entertainment also featured live performances from new and veteran artistes like Wande Coal, Seyi Shay, and Tolani Otedola.

When Bovi took to the stage, the crowd was well primed and ready. Jokes after jokes, the comedian delivered his punchlines excellently and carried the audience through a journey filled with echoing laughter.
