He shared these sentiments during an interview with Happy FM’s Doctar Cann on the ‘Ayekoo After Drive’ show.
“I don’t understand why event organizers have sidelined Ghanaian comedians. We have the Ghana Music Awards UK and US and South Africa and then you begin to wonder why. The funny thing is comedians do not charge that much. We don’t need too much to set up, we only need good sound so I feel like Ghanaian comedians have been ignored for a while”.
OB furthered that to make matters worse, COVID-19 came along to disrupt all shows that Ghanaian comedians would have been eyeing to perform at.
OB Amponsah is one of the fastest-emerging comedians in the Ghanaian entertainment industry making waves.
