List Of Top Comedians In Ghana

Ghanaian comedians are gaining ground internationally, thanks to their amazing works over the past few years. Some 10 years or so ago, that wasn’t the case.  Their works weren’t appreciated enough by local event organizers, who billed mostly if not always, Nigerians for their shows.

Their argument rests on the fact that Nigerians were more humorous than Ghanaians in terms of comedy and that the Nigerians got them the numbers they need at events.

The new school comedians in Ghana are crossing boundaries with their amazing works and we have taken time to list some top of them in no particular order.

DKB

DKB has penned his name in comedy and MC-ing in Ghana. He came to the limelight after an ugly incident in BBA 2012 where he slapped a housemate and was sacked from the house.
