What is A Billion Laughs
A Billion Laughs is an entertainment company that produces and distributes comedy shows. We are passionate about comedy—its power to entertain, challenge, and bring people together. The company was founded by a former comedian who saw the challenges fellow comedians face, both on and off the stage. Our first comedy special Caveat Venditor: This Joke Is For Sale focused on the struggles of young comedians in Nigeria. Though the production was rough, it was our way of showing how much comedy matters to us. It was a love letter to comedy. Since 2019, we have now produced 17 live comedy shows, a comedy conference and 5 comedy specials including MUFTI: Good Cop, Bad Cop, The Nigerian Dream and The God From Sango-Ota.
Why Comedy Matters
Comedy is more than just laughs—it helps us cope, tells hard truths, and brings people together. It makes us see the world through different eyes and challenges the things we accept as normal. At A Billion Laughs, we believe in the power of comedy to inspire change, and that’s why we’re committed to producing comedy shows.
We don’t believe in chasing trends or cranking out content just for the sake of attention. Our goal is to create and distribute unique comedy shows—comedy that’s not driven by algorithms or the pressure to produce quantity over quality.

Our Promise to Comedians and Audiences
For our comedians, we say:
‘Come create the best work of your life’.
We want to work with artists who are dedicated to making something special for an audience that truly cares.
For our audience, we say:
‘Be intentional about your comedy’.
We want to help you discover and enjoy comedy that’s not just entertaining, but meaningful.
Our Core Mission: Work as a Way to Love
At A Billion Laughs, our core mission is to create the best work and to model work as a way to love—love for our comedians, our community, and our audience. This belief shapes everything we do, from the art we create to how we run our business. We believe that work should be a reflection of care and respect, not only for the craft but also for the people involved.Â
We recognize that comedians are often overworked and undervalued, and we see this as a crisis. A Billion Laughs aims to change that by using our art, our business, and our community to ensure that comedians (and workers at large) are supported, valued, and paid fairly for their work.
