The annual event which has been running since 1990, commands a worldwide audience and the theme of this year\u2019s festival is \u201cThe American Dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

The comedians are being sponsored by TrendTV, the pioneer indigenous DTH service operator in the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a dinner party orgainsed in honour of the six comedians, in Victoria Island, before they left the country for Geneva, the Managing Director of pay TV, Mr. Kalada Wilson said his company is poised to be part of the development of the country\u2019s creative industry, especially, the entertainment sector.<\/p>\n

Wilson hinted that the outing is an attempt by his company to take Nigerian comedy and stand-up comedians to the international scene, adding that \u201cit is a lead towards wider interest as well as patronage in the sector. \u201cSuch events will also spur huge demand for made-in-Nigeria stand-up comedy content and sit-com programming internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n

The six\u00a0 comedians who enjoyed an all expense paid trip to the five day event by TrendTV,\u00a0 would slug it out with their counterparts from other parts of the world. They are also expected to stage comic performances around the theme \u2018The American Dream\u2019 to a live audience in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

Elated Princess promised not to disappoint her fans back home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
