Nigerian comedian and entertainer Ericardo is set to stage his first Lagos comedy special, titled ‘Ericardo: REDEPLOYED,’ on October 25, 2026.
The special will take place at Banex Cinemas, Lekki, Lagos, marking a new phase in the comedian’s career after several years of building his profile on the comedy circuit in Warri, Delta State.
Ericardo’s transition to Lagos is the show’s central theme, drawing on his experience of moving from Warri to Nigeria’s commercial and entertainment hub.
The title, REDEPLOYED, was inspired by his posting to Lagos by the National Youth Service Corps for his service year.
Before his move, Ericardo staged three sold-out comedy shows in Warri while pursuing his ambition to expand his career beyond Delta State.
‘REDEPLOYED is about the journey. It is about leaving what you know, entering a new environment and figuring things out along the way,’ Ericardo said.
The special comes two years after his last major comedy show and is expected to feature stand-up comedy, personal stories and observations on career growth, relationships, ambition and adjusting to life in a new city.
Ericardo has also built a career as a master of ceremonies and event host, having hosted more than 250 events across Nigeria, including corporate functions, concerts, weddings and entertainment productions.
