Holy Mallam is a pioneer in his own brand of comedy, "Gospel Comedy". He started this genre of comedy over 10 years ago when efforts to break through into the comedy industry proved futile, much less with his unique approach.
He is widely regarded as a titan in his own genre because he rose through the ranks and has built his reputation to become Nigeria's most celebrated Gospel Comedian.
Holy Laughter started out as an annual event put together and hosted by Holymallam. An evening of gospel comedy, music and dance. The maiden edition held in April 2005 holds the record of selling out the Prestigious Shell Hall of the Muson Centre, Onikan Lagos to two show simultaneously. The show has featured the best of Nigerian Comedians and Music talents in the gospel genre.
Bench Warmer, 7 track musicomedy album released in 2005 andlaunched in 2008, is still enjoying reviews and massive air play on radio and television till date signifing the revelance of the message. Making the most of his comedy talent on his "Devil tinye aka na barbu wire" track (translates: The Devil hand caught in barbed wire), he commented on the bad driving habits in Nigeria. Today the track is being used as a theme song by the Lagos State Traffic Managament Authourity (LASTMA) in warning road users from breaking the law.
