Ali Baba in high spirit for another January 1st concert

When the king of stand up comedy, Ali Baba came to town last year with the maiden edition of his comedy concert, and called it Ali Baba January 1st concert, not few people wondered what he was up to. His pedigree as a successful comedian speaks volumes.




One of the things that got people talking was the date of the show which falls on the first day of the new year, but Ali Baba, known for his dogedness, kept his cards to his chest and staged what was then described as the biggest comedy show in Nigeria, setting the trend for other comedy shows of the year.

While Lagosians await the second edition of the show which comes up in two weeks at the Eko Hotel Convention Centre, Ali Baba promised that this year’s concert will be on a different level. Comedians and musicians who will perform at this year’s event are expected to don black and white Tuxedo.
