The organisers of a night of comedy to be headlined by Nigeria\u2019s popular comedian Basketmouth have announced that people will pay K10,000 for standard tickets with K20,000 for VIP.<\/p>\n
The comedy night will be held at Bingu International Conference Centre in Lilongwe on December 6.<\/p>\n
According to a statement from the organisers, the tickets have already started selling in outlets such Ulendo, Foodworths, Crossroads Hotel Business Centre and Papaya among others.<\/p>\n
Basketmouth is one of Africa\u2019s top stand-up comedians and the pioneer in the stand-up comedy industry in Africa.<\/p>\n
The comedian has gone on to become one of Africa\u2019s most known and loved comics.<\/p>\n
Listed as one of the funniest people in Africa by CNN\u2019s African Voices early this year, Basketmouth real name Bright Okpocha studied Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Benin. He is an accomplished comedian, actor and entrepreneur.<\/p>\n
He picked the stage name \u201cBasketmouth\u201d because he just speaks his mind unfiltered, without holding anything back \u2013 just like how a literal basket doesn\u2019t hold water.<\/p>\n
Basketmouth has over the years hosted a number of successful concerts for artists like Jay Z, Beyonce, Boys II Men and Sean Paul. He was the first African comedian to host a one man comedy concert at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo and has headlined shows in multiple African countries like Ghana, Kenya and South Africa. Host of his own show on MTV Base, called The Big Friday Show which was a big success and won the best TV Show in 2013, Baskemouth is currently an ambassador for African telecommunications company Globacom and Nigerian airline carrier Dana Air and has shared the stage with other famous comedians like Trevor Noah, Donnovan and David Kau, to mention a few. Supporting him on December 6 will be Mbeu \u201cSnooze\u201d Kambuwa, the latest African comedy sensation who recently won Comedy Central\u2019s Grab The Mic Comedy Contest in South Africa, with a special music performance by Malawi\u2019s own hip hop music group Nyali Muzik of the famous \u201cFrom Malawi\u201d song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
