Bigjohny’s ‘Son of Jonathan’ comedy show in Ibadan blends laughter and life lessons, confirming his rise as a top talent in Nigerian comedy
Bigjohny Son of Jonathan was more than just a comedy event—it was a masterclass in humor, culture, and emotional connection.
Held at Filmhouse Cinemas in Ibadan, the sold-out show reaffirmed John Taiwo Ojiebun, a.k.a. Bigjohny Da Talkative, as a rising powerhouse in Nigerian comedy.
For one unforgettable hour, Bigjohny had the crowd in stitches with hilarious tales about his late father, Elder Jonathan Ojiebun.
With his signature charm and sharp wit, he explored themes like Nigerian burials, men’s health, and the often-overlooked emotional struggles men face.
“Men are usually silent about their many struggles and challenges… this was the reason I decided to hold an event focusing on it, even through comedy,” Bigjohny explained.
His set didn’t just entertain—it inspired.
The crowd laughed and learned as he tackled real issues with heart and humor, while also offering witty advice to women on understanding the male experience.
One of the standout aspects of the night was Bigjohny’s commitment to bringing premium, culturally relevant comedy to Ibadan.
His nuanced take on burial customs and family life resonated deeply, celebrating Nigerian identity while also sparking important conversations.
The event also featured a stellar lineup of comedians including Comedian ATM, Mc Dan, Megabyte, Rapin Dady, Dr Frick, Dr BENGU, TaiChi Comedian, and Dr Smile—all of whom warmed up the audience with crowd-pleasing performances.
With a comedy career that began in 2015, Bigjohny has produced shows since 2016, hosted over 300 weddings, and earned nominations like the Blingz Events Award 2022.
He has shared the stage with industry icons like AY Comedian and Destalker, building a solid reputation both locally and internationally.
According to Bigjohny, “‘Son of Jonathan’ was a triumph—personal, powerful, and unforgettable.”
With his eyes set on both national and global comedy scenes, Bigjohny Da Talkative is definitely a name to watch.
