Following his official takeover of the Opa William’s Nite of a Thousand Laughs, showbiz impresario, Kehinde Adegbite, popularly known as Mallam Yankee, has taken his first major shot aimed at taking the show beyond its official limits by announcing its Benin and Port Harcourt’s Special Edition.
The two events that have now been fixed for December 26th, 2016 and January 1, 2017 respectively will assemble heavyweights of the entertainment industry to give residents the most desired treatment for the season.
While the Benin Edition holds on December 26th at the Hexagon hotels in the ancient city, the city of Port Harcourt will have a feel of the show on January 1st, 2017 at Aztech Archum, Stadium Road.
Speaking on the Benin edition of the show, Mallam Yankee reeled out names of A-list entertainers who would thrill residents to include; Okey Bakassi, I Go Die, I Go Save, Edo pikin, MC Casino, Maleke, Osama, Arinze Baba, Youngest Landlord, Wazobia Revolution, Most Wanted and Yellowmouth.
He announced further that Okey Bakassi, Helen Paul, I Go Die, Gordons, I Go Save, Accapella, Romeo and Arinze Baba will perform at the Port Harcourt event.
According to the Yankee Entertainment boss who doubles as Chairman, The Bank club, ‘’ residents would equally be thrilled by a scintillating vibe from popular musician, YCee, aka, Omo-Alhaji. ‘’
Mallam Yankee is optimistic that the shows will garner the needed support, affirming that, ‘’ Benin and Port Harcourt are like homes away from home, because the people are friendly and we believe in their support as we storm both cities on December 26 and January 1 respectively.’’
It would be recalled that Mallam Yankee recently took over the popular comedy show after it had been run for 20 years by its founder, Opa Williams. Yankee while talking on the task ahead during the official takeover ceremony had said, ‘’ I have the utmost task of not only sustaining the epic brand, but taking it to a higher level.’’
Opa Williams had stepped aside, so Yankee could use his undoubted ingenuity in entertainment to expand the scope of the show by hosting it in more cities across the country.
It’s believed that with the takeover, show patrons will experience unimaginable innovations.
