John A reviewed President Obonjo: President Obonjo stole my identify which happened on 10:00pm on Sat 18th Jun 2022.

I recall seeing Stephen K Amos taking on a similar character some years ago in Edinburgh to good effect and this portrayal was of equal merit. However the 'black dictator' gag wore a little thin too early and maybe the revelation that he was actually someone else should have come sooner. The gags worked well at times..the funniest being the reference to the Halifax man. There is a more interesting story in there somewhere. Overall well performed.
