Dee One, the reality star, has completed his ambitious attempt to set a new world record for the longest stand-up comedy performance.
The marathon performance began on October 2 at the Pallazzo Lagos in Opebi, Ikeja, and concluded on Saturday after an impressive 52 hours and 42 minutes.
A video shared on his Instagram page captured the moment fans erupted in celebration as he signed off, surpassing the existing record.
The current Guinness World Record for the longest stand-up comedy marathon is held by American comedian Benny Elbows, who achieved 40 hours, 16 minutes, and 48 seconds in April 2025.
Dee One’s attempt also follows fellow Nigerian entertainer Laff Ijuo’s earlier effort at a 50-hour record.
Driven by his desire to “test the limit of possibility,” Dee One described comedy as “a powerful form of healing and connection.”
He emphasised that his goal was to inspire others, stating that the record attempt was not just his “journey,” but “about showing every dreamer that no stage is too big and no goal is too high.”
His record of 52 hours and 42 minutes now awaits official verification and confirmation by the Guinness World Records (GWR) organisation.
