FUNKE AKINDELE AND YAW TO RAISE THE BAR
Successful yoruba actress, Funke Akindele-Oloyede and popular OAP Steve Onu, also known as Yaw are becoming some brands’ choice comperes. And if anyone has noticed, they anchored many events last year and now this year they will hopefully anchor more, but beyond that, the talented pair have something up their sleeves.
Few weeks after Yaw had the premiere of his new TV sitcom called – ‘Yaw’s n’ Myn’, at the Silverbird Cinemas, the producer and actor has actor is out with another creative programme.
Titled ‘The Bar’, the 2-man play which also stars Funke Akindele-Oloyede will be staged at Muson Center, Onikan on 6th March, 2013. Billed to be present at the show are top music acts like Iyanya, MI as well as comedians.
According to Yaw, the play is not your conventional comedy show but, it’s more of a ‘satire. “I believe a satire should be like a rubber sword. It doesn’t pierce like a real sword would; but the person it touches will definitely feel the impact.
The audience should expect twists and turns in the performances, suggestive innuendos and plenty of meanings in between the lines of the script. But they should also expect to laugh, because at the end of the day, it is comedy.” He affirmed.
