The
9th edition of the “Yaw Live on Stage” series tagged #APERE is
happening this Sunday May 28 at Eko Hotels Convention Centre and it’s got the
whole of Lagos talking. In case you are still not sure if the hype is worth it,
here are 6 reasons why you shouldn’t miss out on the biggest comedy show of the
year.
Yaw’s
unique Stage Play plot
Over
the years, we have seen Yaw transform from being just a funny OAP and TV actor
into a professional comedian and stage play actor. From the first edition of
“Yaw Live on Stage” series, there has been a noticeable difference in his
flair. His antics and delivery have become funnier and more relatable and you
wouldn’t want to miss out on what he has planned out this year.
Sound
Sultan in a never-before-seen fashion
The
APERE buzz has gone beyond the shores of Nigeria and Sound Sultan’s feature in
the stage play has raised some eyebrows but reports have revealed otherwise. It
is being said that musician and actor Sound Sultan will bring something
exceptional to the APERE experience. Rumour has it that after APERE, he might
delve into fulltime acting.
A
long list of fun-packed performances
Last
year at the 8th edition of the “Yaw Live on Stage” series
‘Shalanga’, we witnessed an unusually long eclectic list of top Nigerian
musical acts such as Olamide, Burna Boy, Reminisce, Falz, Korede Bello,
Patoranking, Timaya, Adekunle Gold, CDQ, Solid Star, YCEE, Seyi Shay and many
others who delivered exhilarating performances at the show. The
show also witnessed some of the most celebrated A-list comedians grace the
stage to throw the audience into gales of laughter.
This
year promises to be way better; more music artistes and the top guns of the
comedy industry have been lined up to perform and of course you wouldn’t want
to miss the highlight of the evening the stage play titled “APERE” featuring
Yaw and Sound Sultan.
Another
nostalgic journey down memory lane
Ask
those who were present for Shalanga, they’ll tell you how much they enjoyed
reminiscing on their favorite pastimes. Hilarious clips from cartoon shows like
Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, SuperTed were displayed on a huge screen and they
had the audience cheering and reliving old memories.
The
APERE experience is not going to be any different this year. Inside sources
reveal a lot more throwback videos of shows and TV series from the 80’s and
90’s have been gathered to entertain and prickle guests with feelings of
nostalgia. There’s nothing better than a good old fashioned journey through a
memory lane.
Perfect
get-away from the harsh reality of Nigeria’s current economic state
It’s
no news that Nigeria has been going through a tough economic situation for a
while now. The environment is even harsher than it was last year when the
previous edition of Yaw’s stage play series ‘Shalanga’ was held. However, APERE
offers the perfect get-away from the current situation of the country as one of
the major themes of the upcoming show is satirical humor, which is not only
relatively relatable, but also gives the audience a less embittering view of
the country’s current state .
Moreover,
Yaw’s stage plays are quite known for touching several thought-provoking topics
in Nigeria, including political matters, industry feuds, trending social media
topics, among others, effortlessly evoking humor from every scene.
Surprise
/ Rare Guest performances
One
thing that’s guaranteed fans will witness at APERE is a number of surprise
guest appearances and performances by totally unexpected artistes. Shalanga saw
some of the rarest performances from artists who were popular in their prime
but have remained low in today’s mainstream music, including popular reggae
artist Baba Fryo, Danfo Drivers amongst others. APERE won’t be any short of
this as inside sources report more singers in this category have been reached
to thrill the audience with their rare performance(s).
Fans
who grew up in the 80’s & 90’s will definitely enjoy every minute of this
rare feat.
With
all of these being said; APERE will be another remarkable event in the history
of stage play as we know it in Nigeria. Several elements are infused into the
upcoming stage play, which will not only serve as an eye-opener on various
intricate matters but also serve as an avenue for attendees to introspect,
considering the morality of we Nigerians is heavily addressed.
