The festival will include private screenings of movies like The Herd, Chronicles of Afrobeats, and Dust to Dreams, alongside the popular Jokes n Jollof Comedy Show, which promises laughter, rivalry, and unforgettable performances from top comedians and skitmakers.

EWA 2025 isn’t just about entertainment it’s a hub for creative opportunities and networking.

This year’s Creative Job Fair, Deal Room, and Hackathons will connect emerging talents with investors, recruiters, and industry leaders.

The organizers are also offering upcoming comedians a chance to audition at the JJC Comedy Auditions, where one winner will earn ₦1 million and a main-stage performance slot.

According to Deola Art Alade, Founder of Livespot360 and Convener of EWA, this year’s event “expands the canvas for creatives while strengthening the ecosystem that sustains them.”

With over 53,000 attendees and hundreds of speakers expected, EWA 2025 aims to cement its place as Africa’s leading platform for storytelling, collaboration, and creative growth.
