Laughline Shuts Down Accra Mall

Like it or not, Comedy is completely taking over and Ghanaians are in love with the industry. This couldn't have been better demonstrated than the influx of patrons last Saturday at the Silver Bird Cinema at Laughline. You could call it the Total Shut Down as most people with nothing to do at the mall after a hangout trooped in to have a feel of Comedy brewed in Ghana.

The monthly comedy show which premiered on Saturday saw a fully packed auditorium with people standing and others who didn't mind sitting on the stairs just to have a good laugh. The event which was well patronized saw patrons being served with sterling performances back to back with no breathing space. The host, Augustin Dennis, held down the show from the beginning and in between acts just to keep the fire kindled. He proved why he was the host for its premier edition.

Patrons were treated to a karaoke session which was led by Augustin Dennis.  In attendance were Giovanni Caleb, host of Starr Drive and Ghana's finest comic actor, Clemento Suarez. The event was organised by Kasa Entertainment with support from Event Guide and True Talk Gh.

Lekzy Decomic, Ghanaian Comedians Shine at 1022 Laughs and Music

Yes, he was the only one who got a standing ovation. 

New comedy entrant, Lekzy Decomic became the toast of patrons at last Saturday’s MTN 1022 Night of Laughs and Music and at the end of his act, the excited patrons clapped and eventually stood up to show their appreciation.

Although he is relatively unknown, Lekzy Decomic, one of the three Ghanaian comedians on the night stood heads and shoulders above many of the popular comics from both Ghana and Nigeria as he delivered one joke after another to perfection at the Accra international Conference Centre(AICC) where the show came off.  

Lekzy Decomic was introduced as the tallest comic in Ghana but his diminutive size came as a surprise to everyone. However when he kicked off his act with jokes about school life, his small stature and some jokes about Gas, he proved that size is no determiner of ability. 

His jokes were not unique but he still managed to give an amazing performance and even had the audience joining in an impromptu “jama” session. 

It was no surprise that his entire act was interspersed with applause from the crowd and he received a standing ovation at the end of his performance. 

As usual, Forster Romanus who was the MC for the event proved once again that he is one of the best around. Every single time he held the microphone was an opportunity to thrill the crowd with rib-cracking jokes and funny jabs at the expense of some notable personalities and members of the audience.

His role as an MC was just as impressive as any of the main acts on the night and was instrumental in ensuring a smooth transition from one comic to the next without a single dull moment in-between. 

Comedian OB, who was expected by many to make Ghana proud once again seemed to have had an off-day last Saturday as many of his jokes fell flat. 

Kenny Black from Nigeria was another new entry to the stage but he made sure no one in the audience will forget his name anytime soon. Destalker also from Nigeria provided many side-splitting moments as he poked fun at many interesting situations common to both Ghana and Nigeria. 

For the veterans, Acapella and I Go Dye, both from Nigeria, their effortless delivery and transition from one funny joke to the other was a justification as to why they are constantly being invited to the event over and over again. 

On the music front, winner of MTN Project Fame, Kidi and MzVee were on hand to provide the first spot of music with Adina coming in next. Adina put on an energetic and impressive performance with the aid of the equally impressive live band. 

Her performance was followed by highlife veteran Ackah Blay who of course treated patrons to what he does best—good music. 

Unlike previous edition of the event held in December, last Saturday’s MTN 1022 Night of Laughs and Music was under-patronised. As at the advertised time of 8 pm, the auditorium was barely half-full and this might have been responsible for the organisers deciding to start the event about 45 minutes behind schedule. 

However once the event kicked off, everything went smoothly and without a hitch.

Representing the old generation of comedians was the godfather KSM who after a brief performance introduced the King of comedy of which he enstooled and handed over the title of King of Comedy to DKB. Arriving in glitz and glamour to humbly accept the title, DKB aarived in a palanquin with a troupe of dancers unshering him in.

MC for the night, Comedian Khemikal

Talking to Comedy Empire, patrons expressed joy at how the once dead comedy industry has been revived by Point of View. To some, it's a remarkable day in their lives as they gave their hearts to Ghanaian Comedy for the first time. Many Ghanaian comedy atheists at the end of the show have now been born again. To those who lost their love for the art, fell in love again.

And Jesus Laughed: Rom-Anus Cracks Jesus' Ribs

Never in the history of the Bible has it been recorded or said that Jesus laughed but on 1^st July 2016, Christian entertainment was taken to a new level when comedy was taken to the church as patrons were hit with hot bouts of performances by comedians Chopsticks, T-Kay, and the guest comic pastor Rev. Bonsu a.k.a Papa Bones (Sarkodie Acheampong). The Vessels of the Prince of Peace Congregation also entreated the audience with a soothing worship song.

The man of the moment, Foster Romanus, came and took the audience through a time of praises before his act. He once again proved why he is the Headmaster of Ghana Comedy as he thrilled patrons with gospel comedy which did not spare the tribes of Ghana as he kept imagining if Ghanaians were in the Garden of Eden.

The event saw the launch of the Romanus Ministries, which aims at bringing to the Christian community quality entertainment and also reach out to the needy in very remote parts of the country of which Jesus Laughs Too is part. The event was heavily patronized as the head pastor of the Prince of Peace Congregation was there to support, together with the family and friends of Comedian.
