Popular comedian and Master of Ceremonies, Sunday Onyenachiya, also known as Sunny Messiah, is set to take the stage with his first-ever comedy special titled, SUNNY MESSIAH Paternity Leave, a witty, heartfelt exploration of family, fatherhood, and the everyday chaos of modern life.
The highly anticipated show will take place on Sunday, November 16, 2025, at the Alliance Française de Lagos / Mike Adenuga Centre, Ikoyi, promising an evening of laughter, relatability, and originality.
With over two decades of experience on stage, Sunny Messiah is known for blending sharp wit with storytelling that hits home. This debut marks a new chapter in his comedy journey, one that bridges humour, culture, and emotion in a truly Nigerian way.
“Paternity Leave was born out of reflection on fatherhood, family, and the funny side of responsibility. It’s about those moments that test your patience but also make you laugh the hardest. This special is my way of turning real life into comedy, of finding humour in the madness,” he explained.
The comedian acknowledged the brands backing the project, including Atorj Technology Limited, Sew Smooth Clothing Limited, Martinz Nnaji Jr’s Film Kitchen, Tetrarch Nigeria Limited, Ivon Melda, and PixxelColors Agency, noting their invaluable support.
“Their support has been phenomenal. It’s exciting to see brands recognising comedy not just as entertainment but as an important part of our creative economy and cultural identity,” he said.
The special will feature Senator Comedian as Special Guest, with Ebuka Mic as host. The night will also showcase a thrilling lineup of performances from some of Nigeria’s finest comedic talents including ChimeFrancis, Iykomo, Dexmond, FunnyUrch, Saint Envi, and AkanLaff, all set to keep audiences entertained with their signature humour and boundless energy.
As anticipation builds, Sunny Messiah assures fans that Paternity Leave will be more than just a show. He describes it as refreshing, smart, and bursting with energy, a deeply personal project that reflects real-life experiences. According to him, Paternity Leave is for everyone, whether married, single, a parent or not, because, at its core, it is about life, laughter, and the shared stories that connect us all.
Don’t miss this unforgettable night of laughter, truth, and storytelling. Sunny Messiah’s Paternity Leave promises to leave audiences laughing, reflecting, and talking long after the curtain falls.
