Africa Comedy Live Launches in Nigeria with Exclusive Event

Africa Comedy Live (ACL) is set to launch its platform in Nigeria with an invitation-only founding gathering titled "A Salute to Nollywood" on 13 November 2026 at TRIB3, Victoria Island, Lagos. This event marks the introduction of ACL to the African market and honors the comedians and storytellers who have shaped the audience for African comedy.

Since 2019, ACL has showcased African comedy in the United States, featuring artists like Kenny Blaq, Helen Paul, Real Warri Pikin, and David Operah. The platform aims to provide a dedicated space for African comedians and content creators to connect with audiences, allowing them to retain their existing followers while expanding their reach.

Carrie Crawford, the founder of ACL, stated that Africa's comedy has always had talent but lacked a proper stage. The gathering will include a live demonstration of the platform, a celebration of African comedy, and opportunities for creators and brands to engage with the community.
