The atmosphere was electric and excitement contagious as the crowd streamed into the bowels of Trinity House, Victoria Island, Lagos, on Easter Monday, April 6, 2026. The event, organized to coincide with the religious observance of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, lived up to its reputation as one of the biggest entertainment spectacles in Lagos and across Nigeria. This year's edition of the 'Laff Supper' comedy, dance, and music fiesta delivered on all fronts.
Setting the Stage
DJ A-Slide kicked off the evening with inspirational songs, setting the mood for the full course of the 'Supper.' The comperes, ND Talk and Ifeoma of Konga Fm, took over and declared the event open by introducing the first artist, Arite. Arite, a fast-rising singer and recent winner of the Africa Creative Market Next Level Award supported by the British Council, also attempted a Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon. Her performance earned her a long applause from the satisfied crowd.
Comedy and Music Galore
MC Laz took over from Arite, raising the audience's pulse with his hilarious jokes that sent them reeling with laughter. ATM and EfeWarriboy took turns to further crack them up with spontaneous jokes. EfeWarriboy is also an actor who stars in one of Nigeria's best sitcoms, My Flatmates, produced by top Nigerian stand-up comedian Bright Okpocha (aka Basket Mouth) and the late actor and show organiser Kayode Peters (aka Koko). The introduction of Ekene Smith, host and convener of the comedy show titled Laff Supper With Ekene Smith & the 12 Disciples, further raised the bar of the already charged night. Ekene Smith put up a good performance, his jokes relatable and family friendly.
More Performances
After Ekene Smith's performance, Mc Shaggi and a fast-rising Nigerian musician named Liberty Vibes, along with other up-and-coming comedians, took turns on stage. The show also featured popular Nigerian comedians Odogwu and Mc Abilitea. The comedy show was supported by Chen Homes, one of Nigeria's leading real estate companies, and Unilag Micro Finance Bank, a youth-driven financial organization supporting creative projects.
The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
As the crowd laughed and enjoyed themselves, a shadowy figure stayed behind the scenes, putting everything together to ensure the evening was memorable. In fact, he cooked and served the 'Laff Supper' for the audience to feast on. He is a young man named Chukwuka Adigwu, popularly known as Papumatic. Papumatic is often perceived as camera shy, but he disputes this perception: 'Not that I am camera shy, no, but I am more focused on getting the job done behind the scenes. My objective is to bring the artistic vision of the show to life, from an idea to execution,' he said, adding that he had been doing that for years without sounding off.
Career Background
Adigwu started his career as a Talent Manager, working as an entertainment executive with Firematic Entertainment Group, a home for popular brands such as Blaq Jerzee, Juliet Ibrahim, and DJ Spinall among others. 'Having this background working as one of the creative managers with the management group and directing and leading the talent on the brand gave me some exposure in the industry which prompted my interest in artistic production.'
