President Obonjo of the Lafta Republic rose to power in a coup 11 years ago and has been slaying audiences across Britian ever since. The President’s solo shows have toured the UK and played at Bath Comedy, Brighton Fringe and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals to packed crowds and critical acclaim. President Obonjo has attracted legions of fans thanks to his party-political broadcasts on social media, Next Up Comedy specials and declaration of war on Wakanda. A beloved character on the comedy circuit, he is in demand as an MC and headliner.
When the BBC and E4 conspired to dethrone the President by installing a pretender in his position of Comedy Dictator, the entire comedy community rose as one to demand that His Serene Excellency be recognised as the TRUE Supreme Leader of the Lafta Republic. The guilty parties have never been seen again.
Medals include: The Malcolm Hardee Award; Lastminute.com Comedian of the Year; Luton Comedian of the Year; Nobel Pece Prize (TBC).
