PRESIDENT OBONJO
What the press have said:
It's a great comic construct, with lots of seized opportunities for playing with the clichés Steve Bennett, Chortle
There was the potential of that high-status, comedy bomb-proof kind of character that Alexis Dubus has created so successfully with Marcel Lucont. - Ben Veneables, Londonist
This hour-long show was a revelation... Not at all what I was expecting. - John Fleming
On the face of it, it works as a well-crafted political comedy, exposing how the world has treated Africa and left much of it to suffer corrupt governments led by the likes of Obonjo. But it's the layers of context that really make this a fascinating, bewildering and painfully funny experience.
President Obonjo, is an upcoming and increasingly successful stand-up comedian and who has been peforming Comedy for the past 10 years.. As the larger-than-life, uber-confident, self-appointed, side-splitting dictator of 'Lafta Republic', President Obonjo has quietly been leading a comedy revolution to become the first President to take over the comedy industry by storm. President Obonjo is a Malcolm Hardee Award winner in 2019
