Comedian Gbenga Adeyinka is preparing to close the year on a high note with a celebration of laughter and music as Laffmattazz with Gbenga Adeyinka and Friends stages “The Last Show” of 2025.

The event will hold on Sunday, November 23, at the Balmoral Convention Center, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Now in its 18th year, Laffmattazz has toured several cities across Nigeria and even extended to the United Kingdom this year. The 2025 finale returns to Lagos, where the concept was first born, promising a night filled with comedy, music and cultural performances.

“This year’s show is special for me,” Gbenga Adeyinka said in a statement. “Lagos made me who I am, and it feels right to close the year in the city that gave me my voice and my audience.”

He added that the show will celebrate the spirit and culture of Lagos. “Lagos is more than a location. It’s a spirit; vibrant, diverse and full of life. We’re bringing that essence to the stage.”

The star-studded lineup includes comedy icons and music stars such as Alibaba, Niniola, 9ice, Sunny Neji, Timi Dakolo, Omobaba, Edo Pikin, Haruna Ishola, Dr Smile and many more. There will also be live performances by Aristos Band, DJ MASS and other supporting acts.

Speaking further, the veteran comedian described the show as a gesture of gratitude to his fans and supporters. “This is a thank-you note to everyone who has supported us since day one. Comedy is one of Nigeria’s strongest exports. Through Laffmattazz, we’ve shown that laughter truly unites people, no matter where they are.”

Tickets for The Last Show are already on sale, with categories ranging from single seats to premium tables named after iconic Lagos landmarks such as Iga Iduganran, Eko Ile and Ehingbeti.
