Asked by reporters what
Nigerians should expect from
him, Roberts who had a big
smile plastered on his face
declared, “Non-stop comedy.
I'm very unpredictable, so I
don’t know what I'm going to
say. If you're in front of me, I
might talk about you. I don't
want to offend anybody, but
you never know. You've got the
best right here with you!”
Roberts continued, “Every
country we go to, we do our
research. We try to read the
mindset of the people, because
what's funny to people back in
the United States might not
appeal to the audience here, so
we just have to get ready, and
make sure we operate on the
same wavelength as the people
here.”
On his part, Davies said, "I just
want to have a good time and
bring my own brand of comedy
to a whole new place. Many
may have watched me on TV,
but they’ve never seen me
perform live. It's going to be
spectacular. It's going to be a
different vibe coming from me
on that stage. I just want to
create a stress-free
environment and make the
audience have a good time.”
Anxious to work with some of
Nigeria’s biggest comedy
talents, Davies stated, “I want to
see more so I can take in the
culture, and learn as much
about their comedy as I
possibly can. I don’t want this
to be my last trip; I want
Nigerians to be so used to me
that they’ll keep having me over,
and not just for big events
alone.
The duo will be performing
with some of Nigeria’s biggest
stars including Alli Baba,
Basketmouth, Okey Bakassi,
Julius Agwu and Gordons.
On their expectations on
working with their Nigerian
counterparts, Roberts said,
“Actually, it's weird because
they're more used to this
environment than we are. They
know the local stuff, so they can
say things that we don't know
about. They have the upper
hand on us, but all the same,
we're super funny, and you're
going to find out! We're going
to get along with them and
work as a team.”
The show which is packaged by
national operator, Globacom, is
scheduled for 6.00 p.m.,
Saturday, October 19th, at Eko
Hotels, Victoria Island, Lagos.
