Laff Ijuo, the Nigerian entertainer, has completed 28 hours in his quest to set a 50-hour record for the longest stand-up comedy by an individual.
The comedian started the attempt, named ‘Laughter for a Cause,’ on February 14 at the Banex Mall in Lekki, Lagos.
In an Instagram post, Ijuo revealed he has surpassed 28 hours in his attempt, placing him in the top 3 of the longest stand-up comedy shows ranking.
He urged people to support and cheer him on for the remaining 35 hours.
Ijuo’s attempt is being aired across his social media platforms.
In a statement, he earlier disclosed he is attempting the record to raise $1 million for the Talent City Naija (TCN) project.
The comedian explained that Talent City Naija is a hub where Nigeria’s most skilled and creative young talents can thrive.
“Talent City Naija is my vision to create a hub where Nigeria’s most skilful and creative young talents can thrive. It will be a space for them to live comfortably, work together, and showcase their crafts on a global stage,” the statement reads in part.
Ijuo also said that he has been approved by the Guinness World Records (GWR) to run the attempt.
The longest stand-up comedy show by an individual is 40 hours 8 minutes.
It was achieved by American comedian David Scott on April 30, 2013.
