Nigerian comedian and actor Adebowale Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has added another impressive achievement to his career after graduating with a Master of Arts degree with Distinction in Performance (Acting) from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, London.
The entertainer announced his academic achievement on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, through his social media page, where he shared a video capturing moments from his graduation ceremony.
Expressing excitement over the milestone, Mr Macaroni described the academic journey as challenging but rewarding, stating that it had contributed significantly to his personal and professional growth.

Mr Macaroni’s latest qualification further strengthens his academic background in the performing arts. He previously graduated from Redeemer’s University in 2018 with a degree in Theatre Arts and Film Studies.

As part of his training, the comedian made his London theatre debut in July 2026, playing Lord Commander Thomas Fairfax in Howard Brenton’s historical play, 55 Days. The production, directed by James Yeatman, was staged at Mountview’s Backstage Theatre.
He had also completed an Advanced Acting for Camera course at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), London, in 2025.
Widely celebrated for his satirical comedy skits and his popular Daddy Wa character, Mr Macaroni has established himself as one of Nigeria’s recognisable entertainers, with credits spanning comedy, television and film.
His film appearances include Tunde Kelani’s Ayinla, Kunle Afolayan’s Anikulapo, Freedom Way and Lisabi: The Uprising.
In July 2026, the entertainer stated that his decision to pursue a master’s degree was driven by his determination to take acting more seriously and continuously improve his craft.
This latest achievement marks another significant chapter in his entertainment career, a demonstration of his commitment to combining his success as a comedian and content creator with formal training in the performing arts.
