The AwaadeofLagos 120 Hours Theatrethon Attempt In Calabar.
For those of you asking if there was any previous record holder, this is the Update.
Awade Jacob Awade popularly known as Awaadeoflagos is a native of Obanliku Local Government from Cross River State.
He is known as Awaadeoflagos on all social media platforms, a Theatre Arts graduate from the University of Calabar. During his time in school, he won the Best Actor award back-to-back from year one to final year. Additionally, during his final year stage play, he interpreted and directed Wole Soyinka’s piece “Death and the King’s Horsemen” and was crowned the Overall Best Director of his set.
Currently, Awade is attempting to break a record set by Adrian Hilton in 1987. The longest marathon theater performance by an individual, a Guinness World Record, was achieved by Adrian Hilton (UK), who recited the complete works of Shakespeare for 110 hours and 46 minutes.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the record:
