Comedians born in Lagos

Nigeria's largest city and former capital, Lagos is a sprawling metropolis on the Atlantic coast, spread across the mainland and a series of islands around a vast lagoon. It is the country's commercial, financial, and entertainment powerhouse, home to the Nollywood film industry and the Afrobeats sound.

Lagos also sits at the heart of Nigeria's live comedy industry, where big-ticket stand-up shows and a deep pool of comic talent draw large audiences. Comedians born in the city include Helen Paul.
