It was a night of back-to-back hilarious performances from some of Ghana’s top standup comedians at the maiden edition of the ‘E-comedy’ show, held at the Accra City Hotel on Easter Monday, April 18, 2022.
The show featured comedy heavyweights like OB Amponsah, Clemento Suarez, Pararan (Mocknews) James Brown, and others.
E-comedy, organised and headlined by comedian, Augustin Dennis, was themed around Ghana’s current economic situation as well as global issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on societies and cultural practices.
In an interview with Ghana Weekend, Augustin Dennis urged Ghanaians to support comedians by patronising events such as E-comedy.
He said, aside from helping to relieve stress, comedians also educate the public through thought-provoking jokes and satirical statements.
He assured comedy fans of his commitment to organising more standup shows across the country to promote Ghanaian comedy.
