Free­lance Con­trib­u­tor

Ex­tem­po artistes lit up the stage in Ch­agua­nas on Mon­day night, de­liv­er­ing not on­ly sharp wit and lyri­cal bril­liance but al­so a pas­sion­ate call for the art­form to reach even greater heights.

Na­tion­al Ex­tem­po cham­pi­on Bri­an Lon­don used the spot­light to urge NCC Chair­man Pe­ter Kan­hai to ex­pand op­por­tu­ni­ties for ex­tem­po artistes, call­ing for in­creased prize mon­ey in the fi­nal, a per­ma­nent place at Fla­va Vil­lage and the host­ing of an Ex­tem­po dis­play in Ch­agua­nas.
