Peekaboo activates The Joker’s website

 
After a long wait and several consultations, Peekaboo Global Consulting finally launched the official website of the Joker Comedy Competition in Lagos.

The website was designed as a spinoff of the live comedy competition in a bid to reach out to budding comedians everywhere in the country and beyond.

According to Darlington Abuda, the head honcho of Peekaboo Global Consulting, the launch of the website marks a new season for the celebration of budding comedic talents in Nigeria as they will now be able to register for the competition without having to come to Lagos state.

“We are in the internet age and so we have taken the competition online in a bid to reach out to more contestants who are genuinely talented but may be out of our reach because they are not aware of what is happening in Lagos.”

He added that the website will provide a platform to register and even do preliminary auditions for interested contestants before the live show which will be screened via cable, terrestrial and internet television platforms.

Abuda said the comedy club cum talent hunt was designed out of the need to satisfy the yearnings of upwardly mobile Nigerians for an event that effectively combines wholesome entertainment with a qualitative networking environment. “With the launch of the website, the comedy club cum talent competition will also translate into a mini ‘ online comedy Industry Nite’ for all internet savvy people across Nigeria as a gathering of young professionals, families and entrepreneurs from various industries who seek to unwind with wholesome entertainment.”

He added that the show seeks to correct the dearth in the development of budding comedians that the comedy industry has suffered as there had hitherto been no consistent talent hunt show. The organisers, he said, also seek to nurture the winner into stardom via effective projection of their talents to would-be clients.

Abuda further explained that based on the new design of the show, the prize money will be greatly increased and enjoined all interested contestants to visit thejokercompetition.com for further enquiries.
