Nigerian comedian and reality TV star DeeOne has officially completed a Guinness World Record (GWR) attempt for the longest stand-up comedy performance by an individual, clocking an impressive 52 hours and 42 minutes of non-stop laughter.
The historic performance began around 12 a.m. on October 2 and ended successfully on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at Pallazzo, Ikeja, Lagos, where top Nigerian entertainers and industry personalities gathered to show their support.
Among those in attendance were Pamilerin, Acapella, FunnyBone, Uche Maduagwu, Husband Material, EmmaOhMaGod, K-Solo, Constance Owoyemi, Akinolu Jekins, and Gbenga Adeyinka the 1st.
After completing the marathon, DeeOne expressed gratitude to his supporters and explained the motivation behind his record attempt.
“The record attempt was to encourage Nigerian youths and every dreamer that no goal is too high to achieve”, he said.
Taking to his Instagram TV handle @DeeoneTV on Saturday, the comedian shared a screenshot of a Daily Post headline that read:
“GWR: Nigerian comedian DeeOne completes world record for longest stand-up comedy.”
He paired the post with King Sunny Ade’s classic song “Appreciation” and captioned it:
“My people, Everywhere good! Tomorrow we shut down TBS Lagos.”
The post confirms that a grand celebration will take place today at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Lagos, as DeeOne and his fans mark the historic achievement.
While awaiting official verification from Guinness World Records, fans have already taken to social media to applaud his resilience and courage.
