Makinde David Set to Light Up Lagos with Crossing the Line Live Comedy Show

Lovers of stand-up comedy are in for an evening of laughter as one of Nigeria’s fast-rising comedians, Makinde David, prepares to headline his much-anticipated live comedy show special, Crossing the Line.

Scheduled for Saturday, August 2, 2026, at 6:00 PM, the event will take place at BYD Nigeria, 642F Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos. Organisers promise a night packed with comedy, high energy, and unforgettable moments that celebrate the growing influence of Nigeria’s live entertainment scene.

Popularly known as the “Most Booked Comedian in Nigeria,” Makinde David has built a loyal audience through his relatable skits, sharp observations, and engaging online content. His videos have attracted thousands of fans across social media, making him one of the country’s most recognisable comedy personalities.

Now, he’s inviting supporters to experience that same humour in person.

Speaking ahead of the event, the comedian encouraged fans who have followed his journey online to take part in what he describes as a special live experience.

“If you’ve enjoyed my content, laughed at my skits, or supported my journey in any way, this is your opportunity to experience it live. It’s going to be an unforgettable event filled with great moments, laughter, and amazing energy.”

His message reflects the growing connection between digital creators and live audiences, as more comedians continue to transform online popularity into sold-out live performances.
