Nigerian comedian and reality TV personality Aderombi Adedayo Martin, popularly known as Deeone, has announced his ambitious plan to break the Guinness World Record for the longest stand-up comedy performance.
The record attempt, which will span an uninterrupted 40 hours of live comedy, is scheduled to take place from October 2 to 4, 2025, at Pallazo Lagos, Opebi, Ikeja.
Deeone made the announcement via his social media platforms, sparking a wave of excitement and support from fans and fellow entertainers.
Known for his sharp wit and bold comedic style, Deeone shared a promotional flier styled like a traditional burial poster – a humorous nod to his signature satire.
The post quickly went viral, with celebrities rallying behind the comedian’s daring challenge.
Comedian Josh2funny hailed him as “my favorite comedian,” while singer Teddy A cheered, “Let’s go!”
Actress Tonto Dikeh also lent her voice of encouragement, writing, “Deeone, you can do this! I dey your back.”
Speaking on the upcoming feat, Deeone said the marathon is not just about setting a record but about pushing the boundaries of Nigerian comedy and showcasing the resilience of local talent.
“It’s time to show the world what we’re made of,” he said in a video message.
The Guinness World Record for the longest stand-up comedy performance currently stands at 40 hours, and Deeone’s attempt will need to meet strict guidelines, including continuous performance, audience presence, and content originality.
Fans have flooded his pages with messages of support, praising his determination and courage to take on such a grueling challenge.
If successful, Deeone will not only etch his name in the global record books but also spotlight Nigeria’s vibrant comedy scene on the world stage.
