Ace comedian Ali Baba holds
an annual New Year show tagged the January 1st Concert, which he
headlines and invites other comedians to perform.
While appreciating his
colleagues’ support, Ali Baba, however, issued a warning to those who
would perform with him.
Unlike in previous years
when the comedy stars were allowed to dress as they wanted, the ‘king of
comedy’ this year came up with a new rule: Comedians performing at the
event must all dress in tuxedos or forget about taking the stage.
He wrote on Instagram: “The
year is grinding to our New Year Concert. And at the event
#january1stConcert2015… We allowed comedians and artistes come on the stage
without the accepted tuxedo or evening gown. Edi Lawani said, they were not
informed early enough. In the #january1stConcert2016 event, we will be strict.
The event is a class act. You either wear a dinner suit or forget about gracing
our stage with your act. By this notice, we have given artistes and comedians
performing, enough time to get fashion houses to clothe them. Now you have it
in black and white… Tuxedo or forget performing at #january1stConcert2016.
QED!!!”
His 2015 January 1st
concert had a special appearance by the former first lady, Dame Patience
Jonathan.
