Nigerian comedians, Ali Baba and Seyi Law on Sunday opened up on what they go through to get sponsorships for their comedy shows.

Ali Baba while explaining why VIP tickets are always expensive said it is so because of cost of planning the show, he added that the cost of planning a show overseas are cheaper.

Seyi Law on his part wrote on the cost and demands of hosting an event in the country without sponsorship drive up ticket pricing.

He wrote on Instagram, "Thanks @alibabagcfr for constantly trying to educate people about the efforts of entertainers and events management practitioners. 
I can't write the epistle needed to drive home this point. The cost and class demands of the events in Nigeria without sponsorship drive up ticket pricing. These and more are the reasons we are constantly grateful to media houses that oblige us their platforms for advertising. Now, AFCON is encroaching into that territory to frustrate our efforts. 
What is the government doing to encourage these businesses that create 100 to 200 direct and indirect jobs per show? Make I leave the matter for now. I am looking for sponsors for my Abuja show abeg."

Their explanations are definitely for those that gives a flying fvck.

for me, its not by force to go to comedy shows if the expenses are much. I think the country is a joke already and once people know this, there is enough laughs to go round

To even laugh, you must pay 1 million naira per table!

Odiegwu!

How difficult is it to hire a hall, microphone and speakers?
Is not like these comedians need guitarist, saxophonist etc.

Why go for an expensive ticket just for a comedy show when I can get a relatively cheap betting ticket for as low as N100 with accumulated Odds at bet9ja??

Too much economic sense nor go kee me...

He's probably joking.

Thank God I don't use to watch it live, my own na to buy data,download am free of charge or highest make I go chinedu shop go d disk and watch am inside my LG alaba igbo made DVD... Lobatan

Imagine paying over one million to listen to jokes

I have never attended one and never will. Just to watch people making lewd jokes and poking fun at my Lord Jesus? Never!

2m or 3m just to laugh

I'm telling you

Like having youths with multiple degrees being governed by an Affidavit WAEC certificate.

Or is it a case of millions of Nigerians losing jobs every day and the government is worried about Bob-risky.

Or is it even some ladies advising men to work hard, while many of them work 'smart' by going for married men and the likes

I go just waste some moni for one show wen belly never receive show, America just deny me visa, being a Nigerian is a threat to my life..

Who takes comedians serious? They are Only Joking.

The way everyone relaxes and catch fun is different from each other. Those who have the money will definitely go for whatever the price is while we that can't afford it for now stick to nairaland to view different kinds of comedy. Lots of comedy here as well. May God bless our hustles!
