The 4th Edition of Naija FM Comedy Jam, which holds on November 21 at Muson Centre in Lagos, will feature recognition and celebration of comedy acts and personalities as well as the most outstanding comedy shows for the period under review.

From modest beginnings at the turn of the century, the Nigerian Comedy industry has grown enormously over the past two decades to become Africa’s largest comedy market and an important global comedy hub with trailblazers like Basketmouth and Bovi taking Nigerian comedy and culture to a global audience.

Giving his thoughts on the event, General Manager Megalectrics, Deji Awokoya commented,

“The Naija FM comedy jam has become a signature platform through which we appreciate our radio listeners and this fourth edition promises to be the best yet. It is a celebration for our listeners, for the performers and for us as the Nigerian comedy scene continues to grow and break records beyond our most optimistic projections when starting out.”

The Radio station will also be giving one lucky winner a return ticket to Turkey. It will be recalled that last year, a lucky ticket holder emerged a winner of a government-approved plot of land in Lagos.

Naija FM Comedy Jam is supported by Peak Milk, St Remy, Turkish Airlines, Birdie Technologies, Hip TV, Black House Media and Nigezie.
