Join us in bringing back the beloved “being single in lagos” story to the stage.

 

ABOUT THE PLAY

Ten years after the original hit, Single in Gidi returns to the stage—bolder, deeper, and more relevant than ever.

When a group of old friends reunites for a farewell night in Lagos, what begins as a bittersweet hangout quickly spirals into laughter, nostalgia, unexpected confessions, buried secrets, and life-altering revelations.

One of them is shutting down his once-thriving restaurant and preparing to leave Nigeria for good. The others? Still chasing dreams, avoiding regrets, or wrestling with truths they’ve never dared to say out loud.

Single in Gidi: The Reunion is a rollercoaster of emotions that explores how much people change—or don’t—when love, ego, and Lagos collide.

Themes Explored

  • Love, Loss & Letting Go — navigating heartbreak, divorce, and emotional closure

  • The Japa Dilemma — chasing escape vs. staying to rebuild

  • Friendship & Forgiveness — confronting the past and the people we used to be

  • Mental Health & Identity — unspoken struggles, self-discovery, and healing

  • Lagos: The Unforgiving City — as both a catalyst and a character in every choice we make

Why It Matters

Single in Gidi: The Reunion gives voice to real issues—from mental health to migration, modern love to the pressure of “figuring it out.”

Through humour, vulnerability, and bold storytelling, we’re creating a space for people to see themselves—and maybe start healing.

“Single in Gidi is an apt representation of ‘the things wen dey pain single people.’ The actors laugh at themselves and are sad and angry while the audience just laughs through the entire thing.”
— SABINEWS.COM, JUNE 2015

“Single in Gidi is as thought-provoking as it is humorous. It challenges us to rethink our demands and expectations, especially as far as love and romance are concerned”
— UCHE OKONKWO, MARCH 2017
