The ‘father’ of standup comedy in Nigeria, Atunyota Akpobome who is popularly called Ali Baba has jumpstarted his dream television programme which he calls Alibaba Seriously Live.
The talented comedian came on live on Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) on Sunday, October 9, 2017 at 11 pm and it ran till 1 am.
While speaking with PMParrot, Ali Baba expressed gratitude to another veteran, Patrick Doyle.
His words “I can never forget Patrick Doyle. He was the one who invited me to sidekick his popular programme, Friday Nite Live on NTA in the early part of the 199Os.
“You know, I caught the bug since then and the plan never left my mind that I would one day start a live television programme. From that time, I knew if it was not live, it was not going to challenge me.
“Permit me to use this opportunity to invite all my fans and advertisers to come along with me on this creative journey. AliBabaSeriouslylive belongs to all of us and together, we will make a success of it. I promise, there will not be one second of dullness.”
