We've CHANGED gear
It is being said that the illiterate of the 21st century won't be the person that can't read and write but the person who refuses to learn, unlearn and relearn. In the process of learning, unlearning and relearning; you'll discover and find reasons to stop what you're doing to start something new or do what you're previously doing in a new and better way.
In all, don't be afraid to start something new or give your projects a new approach. At Comedy+, we have taken a new direction and gone fully digital in order to take Nigerian entertainers especially comedians to the entire world.

A Man Of Many ROLES
Age they say "is just a number", it doesn't matter how long you've lived but how well. Kudos to a man whose life is a source of encouragement to others, a role model to many and a man of many roles - kudos to Uncle Olu popularly know as Olu Jacobs. Jacobs is one of the veterans of Nollywood, he is an International super star that has worked with International actors like Jean Claude Van Damme and has also become the favourite for elderly roles in Nigerian movies. Olu Jacobs biography shows that the veteran actor was born on the 11th of July, 1942 in Abeokuta, Ogun State, South West Nigeria.
Olu Jacobs age record shows that the highly revered actor is above 70 years old . He has starred in several British Television series aside featuring in many local and International movies. Like other young aspiring individuals of his age, Olu Jacobs and family issues nearly frustrated him out of pursuing his career as an actor, his father was against his decision to study Dramatic arts, and in 1964, he left the shores of Nigeria to pursue his dream in the United Kingdom. When Olu Jacobs came back to Nigeria in the early 1980s there were no home movies and artist fees were very low, he however formed a company where stage plays were the major entertainment drive before the advent of home movies.
Olu Jacob’s first major role was the production of a television series titles “Vigilante” that starred RMD and Mama D. His life in and outside the industry has been scandal free. He is married to Joke Silva, another prolific Nollywood actress who is regarded as the role model to younger actresses in the movie industry.
Uncle is a complete actor that can be called upon any time to act almost any kind of role and he'll perfectly fit in, that’s why we refer to him as a ‘man of many roles' .

Comedian with a STANDARD Record
Kudos to our own talented stand up comedian and actor whose talent and hard work earned him even more than he imagined. He had a very humble and unassuming start, parlaying his charm and talent to a successful career in the Nigerian comedy scene. He is known as Ayo Makun, popular called AY. He gained fame through impersonating Rev. Chris Okotie in his hilarious jokes. When he began in 2006, he was named the Best Up-Coming Comedian in Nigeria. Comedian AY holds an enviable record of being the first student to direct a convocation production in the history of the Theatre Arts Department of the Delta State University, where he graduated in 2003. In his campus days, he received many awards including: The Most Fashionable Student on Campus (1999 and 2000); The Most Celebrated Student on Campus (2001), Best Showbiz Promoter (2001), Jaycee Club Socio-Cultural Personality Award (2003), and The Most Celebrated Theatre Arts Student (2003).
Today, AY has become the ‘father’ of many upcoming acts and established acts that are doing well in the industry, through the then monthly AY’s Open Mic Challenge that holds every third Sunday, at The National Theatre, Lagos. He hosts (across the country) the usually out-sold comedy and music concerts AY Live. Twice, AY Live has broken and set enviable record standards in comedy events in Nigeria. In 2007, he held Lagos spell bound when the second edition of AY Live, Lagos Invasion drew a record crowd forcing him to do two shows instead of one, as planned. Two years later, similar feat was re-enacted in Nigeria’s Federal Capital City, when AY Live, Abuja Invasion stood Abuja still, and becoming Abuja’s most attended entertainment events ever. The AY Show, arguably is one of the best Comedy Show on Nigeria TV, showing on AYTV which airs daily on HITV across the country and all over Europe winning BEST TV Comedy SHOW in 2008, and has since been a must watch. Ayo Makun in 2009 was awarded UN Peace Ambassador after winning six different awards in 2008, all confirming one same thing: "COMEDIAN OF YEAR". In 2014 A.Y wrote and produced a movie titled "30 days in Atlanta" movie which before released has got many Nigerians attention. Shot in the U.S and also got many nominations before release. AY's YouTube page was said to have been the most viewed comedian channel on YouTube. He married Mabel in 2008 and they are blessed with a daughter, Michelle.
