A Cameroonian comedian, popularly known as 237 Towncryer, has undertaken a unique world record attempt for the longest continuous crying.
As of Monday, July 10, 2023, he embarked on a crying marathon, which he has dubbed a cry-a-thon, with the goal of setting a new record of non-stop crying for 100 hours.
“I am going in to break the Guinness World Records for the longest time crying,” he wrote on Instagram.
Videos shared on his official Facebook page shows him seated on a chair, visibly distraught, while a laptop placed on another chair displays a timer to track the duration of his crying session. He is based in Lagos, Nigeria.
Meanwhile, the Guinness World Records has entreated individuals to limit their desires to break or set world records.
