The Comedy Doctor is Still In: Gordons Balances Classic Stand-Up with New Skit Strategy

Godwin Komone, better known as Gordons (The Comedy Clinic Doctor, or Gordons De Berlusconi), is one of the foundational figures of Nigerian comedy. While the industry has been transformed by skit makers and social media, Gordons has confirmed he is "still very much in the comedy industry" and actively adapting to the new landscape.

Gordons' Latest Moves:

Rebranding and Skit Making: The comedian recently announced a plan to re-strategize his brand to maximize the social media space. This includes a push into creating short-form skits to be uploaded on platforms like YouTube, a necessary step for comedians to remain visible to the younger, digitally-focused audience.
The Comedy Clinic is Open: He is still actively performing his classic stand-up. Videos of his recent appearances at major comedy shows like "Koliko On Duty" and "Service with Mudiaga" are still circulating and drawing big laughs, proving his unique blend of intelligent humour and "Hallelujah" taglines still resonate strongly.
Social Commentary and Mental Health: Beyond the jokes, Gordons uses his platform for deeper commentary. He recently held powerful conversations that blend humor, faith, and a focus on mental health awareness across Africa, noting the alarming rise of mental health struggles among Nigerian youth. He believes comedy can be a tool for healing and education.
Tours and Events: He remains a staple in live events, hosting shows, and lining up international tours across Canada, Europe, and the United States, in addition to major events across Nigeria (Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Uyo).

Gordons is a great example of a comedy legend who knows how to adapt his craft while staying true to the stage that made him famous.

This German series, based on Mona Kasten's Save Me book series, has rocketed up the charts, promising viewers a dose of forbidden love, class warfare, and high-stakes teen drama. But does this stylish boarding school saga truly live up to the hype, or is it just another pretty face in the crowded world of young adult romance? Here is my honest, spoiler-free review of Season 1. 🎬 The Premise: When Two Worlds Collide Maxton Hall centers on Ruby Bell , an intelligent, diligent scholarship student who meticulously plans every aspect of her life, aiming for Oxford. Her world collides disastrously with James Beaufort , an arrogant, obscenely wealthy heir who views the school (and everyone in it) as his personal playground. After Ruby stumbles upon a scandalous secret involving James's family, he tries to buy her silence. This initial antagonism quickly transforms into a classic ...

AT NIGHT

At Night "Mommy, come rub me." Henry has trouble winding down at bedtime. He wants me to come to him, to get in his bed with him, to rub his back. I oblige. I'm happy to; it's rare that he'll stay this still for me, to let me be this close to him. "Tell me the story about the two girls again." This is the story that my grandmother used to tell me, about the sisters, Lucy and Laney, and their dog Snoonie. And how they went to visit grandma in a snowstorm. And how they dug snow tunnels in the front yard until they were frozen. And how they all went inside and grandma warmed them by the fire, wrapped them in quilts, and made them hot chocolate. Years later, when my father died, I inherited his Bar Mitzvah photo album. My grandmother went through it with me, pointing out the relatives. There, seated at a round table, was Lucy.
