Central Present’s Basketmouth Live at Parker’s went down a treat with South
African comedy fans. The comedy superstar, the first Nigerian to
headline the series, won many new fans at the sell-out stand-up comedy gig,

legendary comedy venue.
Transcending race and culture with his comic
delivery, Basketmouth held the audience in the palm of his hand as he rolled
out all the comedy stops to showcase his inimitable brand of humour.
Among the topics that had the audience laughing until they wept were his
hilarious comments on Nigerian culture, what it was like to be a Nigerian in
South Africa, the differences between a Nigerian couple fighting and a South
African couple fighting, tips for guys on how to trick a girl into staying the
night and tips for girls on how to avoid being tricked into staying the night!
Commented Evert van der Veer, Head of Comedy Central, Africa, “Basketmouth
received the warmest welcome and the longest standing ovation we’ve ever seen -
a triumphant endorsement of an artist at the top of his comedy powers, and sure
proof that Nigerian comedy and comedians can cross borders and make get people
laughing wherever they go.”
