The Waiter is a thrilling blend of action, comedy, and social commentary, headlined by AY himself alongside Bucci Franklin, Deyemi Okanlawon and Regina Daniels.
Written by Anthony Kehinde Joseph and directed by Toka McBaror (Dir. Dark October), the story follows Akpos, a fearless yet ordinary Waffy guy who takes a catering job at a prestigious Lagos hotel. While struggling to provide for his sick mother and younger sister, Akpos suddenly finds himself caught in a high-stakes hostage situation. The attack, led by the ruthless Tonye Bright (Franklin), targets top government officials and VIP guests. But Tonye’s meticulously planned operation meets resistance from two unlikely obstacles: Akpos and the hotel’s head of security, Femi Aina (Okanlawon).
The casting is nothing short of stellar. As both lead actor and executive producer, AY assembles a powerhouse lineup that includes Shaffy Bello, William Uchemba, Sunshine Rosman, Rahama Sadau, Uzee Usman, Chris Attoh and Gregory Ojefua. The film also features special and cameo appearances from Kunle Remi, Toke Makinwa, Richard Mofe-Damijo, billionaire businessman Obi Cubana, and former Senator Dino Melaye, adding star power and surprise moments throughout.
The Waiter is now streaming globally on Circuits TV and is available in the UK with a SCREENNOLLY promo code.
