Nigerian comedian Dr. Laff Ijuo Albert has set a new milestone in stand-up comedy by completing a 50-hour marathon, surpassing the previous Guinness World Record of 40 hours and 8 minutes held by American comedian David Scott since 2013.
The historic feat took place at Banex Mall in Lekki, Lagos, beginning on February 14, 2025. Beyond attempting to break a world record, Dr. Laff used the event to raise funds for his “Talent City Naija” project, an initiative aimed at nurturing young Nigerian creatives by providing them with a space to collaborate and showcase their talents globally.
After reaching the 50-hour mark, Dr. Laff celebrated the achievement in a video shared on Instagram, thanking his supporters and highlighting the power of perseverance. His record attempt is now pending official verification by Guinness World Records.
