Comedian Emmanuel Inyang, popularly known as HOD Comedian, has taken a bold step beyond the stage, using humour and entertainment to promote family values as he successfully hosted the maiden edition of Family Fiesta in Lagos.

Held at the Entrance Event Centre on Ago Palace Way, the colourful gathering had in attendance parents and children, transforming the venue into a lively mix of laughter, bonding, and shared experiences.

But beyond its entertainment value, the objective of the Fiesta aimed at reinforcing unity, love, and positive childhood memories in a fast-paced society where families often struggle to find quality bonding time.

The event blended games, interactive sessions, comedy, dance and inspiring engagements, ensuring that both adults and children found meaningful moments to connect. HOD Comedian said the concept was created to “bring parents and children together in an atmosphere of joy, strengthen relationships, and remind families that shared experiences are the foundation of wholesome society.”

The maiden edition drew the presence of notable personalities, including Kaffy, the award-winning dancer and Guinness World Record holder; comedians Deeone, Bow Joint, Phronesis, and Lolo Mbakara; as well as popular health advocate Aproko Doctor. Their appearances added colour to the already vibrant atmosphere and underscored the significance of the initiative.

Parents at the event commended HOD Comedian for creating a platform that celebrates the importance of family bonding. Many described the experience as refreshing, especially for children who had the chance to learn, play and create memories outside the usual home routine.

With the success recorded at its debut, indications suggest that Family Fiesta could become a regular feature on Lagos’ social calendar, offering families an opportunity to reconnect and rediscover the simple joys of togetherness.

For HOD Comedian, the vision is clear: to use creativity and entertainment to rebuild values that strengthen homes – and ultimately, society.
