America based Nigerian comedian, Edo Charles, has once again proven that talent, grace, and gratitude are a powerful combination. Over the weekend, he received an Achievement Award at The African Film Festival (TAFF), a recognition he proudly dedicated not just to his craft, but to God Almighty and the people who have walked alongside him in his journey.
In a heartfelt message following the event, the charismatic comedian expressed his deep gratitude:
“I dedicate this award to you. Yes, you,” he began, addressing his fans, friends, and supporters. “Special thanks to God Almighty for the grace to do what I do and to do it well, to the best of my abilities.”
Edo Charles, known for his sharp wit, clean humor, and storytelling brilliance, has steadily climbed the ranks in the comedy and creative scene. Beyond the jokes and laughter, his work has carried messages of faith, resilience, and purpose, a vision he emphasized in his award speech.
“Now, it’s no longer just about showing work, it’s about glorifying God,” he said, capturing the heart of his evolving mission.
He also extended warm appreciation to Mr. Big Obi and the entire TAFF management, thanking them for seeing him “through the lens of his gift.”
With this latest milestone, Edo Charles joins the league of entertainers who are not only making people laugh but also making a lasting impact. As his platform grows, so does his message: excellence, humility, and a passion that reflects divine purpose.
As fans and colleagues continue to celebrate this well-deserved honour, one thing is clear, Edo Charles is not just performing, he’s ministering through comedy, and the world is paying attention.
It will also interest you to know that Charles is gearing up to host two major events this September in Dallas, Texas. First is African Praise, the very first African praise concert to be staged in a 96% white congregation, promising a powerful fusion of culture and worship. Following that is his annual Enter D Lafta show, a highly anticipated comedy event where attendees don’t just come to laugh, they also stand a chance to go home with a free car.
