United Kingdom-based comedian Kojo Anim, has commended Ghanaian comedian DKB for projecting Ghanaian comedy.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ finalist who was impressed with DKB’s performance at his ‘Meet and Greet’ and ‘Year of Return’ comedy show during the Yuletide shared a video to give DKB a pat on the back.
He congratulated DKB for helping build a strong foundation which is unearthing many talents and hinted that he wants to be part of the builders to build a firm industry.
The growth of the Ghanaian comedy industry is moving steadily well. There have been many sponsors (individuals and organizations) the comedians have moved from being blacklisted to considered “top class” performers and most importantly, Ghanaians are beginning to appreciate the hard work the comedians put in.
Derick Kobina Bonney, known publicly as DKB has been a forerunner for Gh comedy for almost a decade now.
The passion he has for the industry is unprecedented and we can see it with the number of shows he has hosted over these years. DKB Live was his tertiary tour show which saw the comedian visit many tertiary institutions in the country to propagate the comedy gospel.
Point of View held in 2016 was his first one-man show which made history by being the first Ghanaian comedy show to fill the national theatre.
His monthly comedy show, Comedy Express is the longest-running comedy club show and it has seen the rise of many of the emerging talents to established talents we have currently.
