According to Adeyinka, the Grand Comedian of the Federal Republic (GCFR), this year’s tour is coming with a lot of initiatives that will make it different from past editions. He noted that the 2025 tour of Laffmattazz with Gbenga Adeyinka & Friends will be global with the addition of countries like the UK, US and Canada, after touring the routine cities in Nigeria.
“We thought it was important to explore international best practices and luckily, we got in contact with this amazing company called FunZweb.com. It’s a very innovative site and one of the things they do is ticket sales and promotion, and that is where we are partnering with them. Going forward, they will be the only ones selling our tickets online.
“The caliber of people behind the brand (FunZ) is one of the things that fascinated me. The passion and zeal with which they work really got me. I have also gone to their site FunZweb.com, it’s very innovative and amazing. Since the world is going online, that is the place to be. They also have very lofty ideas. Like I said, they will be the only ones selling our tickets online, and the incentive they’re giving us is very rewarding.
“The man behind FunZ is someone with international experience. He has done this with other platforms across the world before deciding that it was time for him to bring his wealth of experience back home to Nigeria. For me to have committed to them, I see a company with eyes on the future and I think they should be one of the top two in Nigeria in no time,” Adeyinka concluded.
