In a city long familiar with the echoes of conflict, laughter returned as hundreds gathered for De Kronicles of Kris Talker (Laugh and Live) — a comedy show designed to heal through humor and community.

Held on November 2, 2025, at the Forshamz Event Centre, the show brought together more than 600 attendees who shared in an evening of jokes, storytelling, and live performances. The event featured some of Nigeria’s top comedy acts, including Mc Pashun, Loud Voice, Job Legend, and other “Comedy Gladiators” who kept the crowd roaring with laughter.

But De Kronicles of Kris Talker 2.0 went beyond entertainment. It was a deliberate effort to rebuild community spirit and provide emotional relief to residents of Maiduguri — a region still recovering from years of insurgency.

Speaking at the event, organizers said the goal was to “help people laugh again and remind them of the power of joy, even in hard times.”

For many attendees, the show was more than a performance — it was therapy. By blending humor and hope, De Kronicles of Kris Talker reaffirmed the role of art and laughter in helping communities heal and reconnect.
