They will be joined by a powerhouse of contemporary comedy kings including Clemento Suarez, DKB, Foster Romanus, Jeneral Ntatia, Kwaku Manu, Khemikal, Mr Beautiful, David Oscar Dogbe, Parrot Mouth, Percy Obrempong, James Brown, and Jeffery Nortey.
Adding an international flavour to the night is South African comedy sensation, Chris Mapane.
The comedy night will also be spiced with music from Ghana’s Rap Doctor, Okyeame Kwame.
