Ace comedian, Okechukwu MacAnthony Onyegbula aka Okey Bakassi, is set
celebrate 25 years on the stage as an entertainer.
The comedian, one of the pioneers of modern stand-up comedy in Nigeria, is also an accomplished actor and well known for his exploits and role in Amaka Igwe’s movie, Rattle Snake.
The celebration tagged, ‘Masters Classics’ will be headlined by other top comedians such as Ali Baba, Basketh Mouth, Bovi, Acapella, Dan De Humorous and Senator. Music will be supplied by Zorro and other top rate music artistes that are yet to be named. Apart from comedy, Onyegbula has been a major feature in some Nollywood movies, especially sit comedies. He is the host of ‘It’s okay with
Okey’, a one hour comedy talkshow aired on Lagos Talk Fm, Lagos, every 6pm, during the working days of the week. He also hosts a couple of other TV shows. The event is billed to hold on April 22, 2018, at the Eko Le Meridien Hotel.
Guests at the event would be privileged to watch the finals of the Big Brother Nigeria, which comes up the same day.
