Nigerian comedian Mr Ibu failed to deliver some exciting comedy antics that saw the audience walk out during his act at the Gaborone International Music Culture (GIMC) Week’s comedy show.

The event was held last Friday at Ba Isago University. It had a lineup of both local and international comics such as Mawee, Phenyo the Master, Kgafela, Thapelo Malani, Crip Michaels Roy wa le Pantsula, Tips Shampoo the host and Mr Ibu the main act.  Mr Ibu came on stage as the final act. Unlike his counterparts he did not stage a stand-up comedy performance, but did the actual acting antics that were in two phases with each act lasting less than 10 minutes. In the first act he was trying to court a woman, asking her if she would sleep with him if he bought her a car.  “If I buy you a car, will you give me that thing?”.

In the second act he came on stage as a boxer with an ambition to fight Floyd Mayweather. He boxed an imaginary rival till he lost the match. He came back on stage for the last act holding the mic, but did not deliver any jokes. He called the MC Tips Shampoo on stage to help him select six beautiful women who he will take to Nigeria for a movie.
