Performers
His suave and vocal antics are a great tactic he holds when on stage, yet just like the name Emeka (Which is Nigerian) is quite complemented well by various stunts he does as he takes audience to Lagos, Abuja, through Naija land and back to Rwanda. Emeka’s pieces began right on his experience with how Rwandan ladies are Romantic through speech- which the comedian find harder differentiating between a complement and an abuse. Emeka’s piece on Nigerian Radio Sports commentators was another one which aroused the audience, on top of mimicking Indians too. The audience also saw moments when Arthur, Emeka and Babu performed all together onto one stage.
Moments
“Ive felt really prevailed returning back for this performance. I love the audience for its feedback, which as a great motivation for me, ” remarked Emeka.
Com Factory is to commence every Thursday from 7pm, and will feature surprise acts onto stage according to organisers.
