Anita Alaire Afoke Asuoha popularly known as Real Warri Pikin
Nigerian comedienne and entertainer, Anita Alaire Afoke Asuoha, popularly known as Real Warri Pikin, recorded another international milestone on Saturday, August 30, 2025, with a sold-out edition of her comedy show “Unapologetically Me” in Maryland, United States.
The event, held at the Grand Occasions Laurel, drew a diverse audience of Africans in the diaspora and American fans, who were treated to an evening of laughter, storytelling, and music.
The Maryland edition follows earlier successful outings of the show in the United Kingdom, Ghana, Warri, and Abuja. The U.S. stop was supported by brands including Finserve, Jollof Etcetera, AfroJamz Network, Buchymix, 1Luv Foods, and Axiom Consults.
In July 2024, Real Warri Pikin staged the fifth edition of the show in Abuja, attracting over 3,000 people at This Day Dome. That event featured Nigerian musicians Peruzzi and Reekado Banks, alongside performances from comedians Funny Timo, MC Royal, Zigabella, Freemouth, and MC Yanis.
Organized by RWP Entertainment, “Unapologetically Me” is set to continue its international tour with more shows planned in the U.K., U.S and Canada. (The Nation)
