Edgar Eriakha: Storyteller, Writer, Comedian, and Media Entrepreneur

Hi, I'm Edgar Eriakha — a Nigerian storyteller, TV host, voiceover artist, writer, and content strategist. Every day, I create content that blends humour, honesty, and real-life experiences for my growing community online and offline.

I currently co-host Wake Up Nigeria, and I bring energy and entertainment to primetime as host of the game show Quick Kash on TVC Entertainment.

I was born in Lagos, proudly Edo, and studied Creative Arts at the University of Lagos, the place where my love for performance truly became a career. From secondary school skits to stand-up comedy stages, I've always been drawn to stories that make people laugh and feel connected.

Today, I reach millions across multiple platforms. My podcast, Why Am I Still Single?, has earned over 70,000 downloads in its first year. You can listen to it here: checkedgar.com/podcasts

My weekly blogs, Check Edgar Lately & In Other News, are created to keep you updated, entertained and laughing every week. You can read them here: checkedgar.com/stories

My monthly live event, Corner Stories, continues to gather audiences for laughter, gist, and shared experiences.

Online, I've built a community of more than 300,000 followers, with daily engagement across videos, blogs, and skits. If you enjoy humorous, relatable, and cinematic storytelling, check out my Videos and Blogs.

As a creative strategist, I've written commercials for major brands like Hollantex, Nescafé, and Honeywell, and voiced campaigns for Gaviscon, Peak, and others. If you're interested in working with me or viewing my audience stats, check out my Contact Page.

On screen, I've appeared in acclaimed Nigerian films such as Seven and Holy Trouble, pushing myself creatively and exploring new sides of storytelling.

Beyond TV and comedy, I'm passionate about children's media. I founded a media agency dedicated to developing children's books and theatre called Ragde Space Kids. In 2025, I joined Kininso Koncepts on a UK theatre tour for young audiences, performing 32 shows across 6 cities — a milestone that expanded my work to international stages.

Whether I'm on stage, on screen, or behind the microphone, my mission is the same: to use humour, real stories, and creative media to connect with people everywhere.

One more thing… Edgar doesn't lie!
