Ushbebe to Storm Abuja with “Yadadi 27: National Assembly Edition” on August 3
Popular Nigerian comedian and on-air personality, Justice Nuagbe, widely known as Ushbebe, is set to bring his long-running comedy showcase, Yadadi, to the nation’s capital with a bold twist. The 27th edition of the show, themed “National Assembly Edition”, will take place on August 3, 2025, at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.
Known for blending sharp humor with social commentary, Ushbebe says this edition will go beyond the usual laughs. In his words, it is a comic mirror held up to Nigeria’s legislative arm, aiming to engage audiences in reflection even as they are entertained. According to the comedian, the show will “x-ray the performance of our National Assembly” through satire, sketch performances, and stand-up acts designed to provoke both laughter and thought.
Over the years, the Yadadi brand has grown into a major force in Nigerian entertainment, consistently drawing capacity crowds across Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Abuja. The shows feature a mix of top-tier comedians, musicians, and surprise celebrity appearances. With the Abuja edition, Ushbebe is raising the stakes by directly engaging with Nigeria’s political atmosphere using comedy as a form of civic engagement.
Organisers of the event say attendees can expect a night of premium entertainment featuring some of Nigeria’s most celebrated comedians and musical acts. While the lineup is still under wraps, past editions have featured the likes of Bovi, Akpororo, Kenny Blaq, and I Go Save, among others.
In keeping with the show’s theme, this edition will include comedic sketches centered on legislative sessions, budget debates, and the often-controversial conduct of lawmakers. Ushbebe noted that the objective is not to mock but to raise awareness through satire about the realities of governance and representation.
The decision to focus on the National Assembly has been praised by fans and commentators alike as timely, given the ongoing national conversations around transparency, accountability, and the role of elected officials.
Tickets for Yadadi 27 are already on sale through major outlets and online platforms, with early demand indicating the show may sell out before the event date. Ushbebe’s team is urging fans to secure their spots early, promising an evening that will be as insightful as it is entertaining.
With Yadadi 27: National Assembly Edition, Ushbebe continues to solidify his place not only as a leading figure in Nigerian comedy but also as a voice unafraid to tackle serious issues with wit, courage, and creativity.
