DKY Night of Comedy & Music set to thrill thousands
Renowned Sports Presenter, Dan Kweku Yeboah (DKY) has given reasons for his upcoming comedy and music show.
Ghanaians will on August 23, 2024 experience the other side of the astute sports journalist as he presents DKY Night of Comedy and Music.
The venue, Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) will be the centre of attraction as DKY assembles the top brass of Ghana’s comedy and music industry for an unforgettable experience.
Patrons on the night will have to brace up for a laughing journey with OB Amponsah, Clemento Suarez, Foster Romanus and the return of embattled Funny Face.
There would also be some quality moments with undiluted Ghanaian music from legendary Amakye Dede, evergreen Okyeame Kwame, dynamic Fameye and the nation’s worshiper, Brother Sammy.
Host of Peace FM’s Kokrokoo Morning Show, Kwame Sefa Kayi, will be the special guest, with ace comedian and actor, Akrobeto as the Master of Ceremony.
Speaking to The Spectator on the reason behind this event which is at variance with what he’s known for, Dan Kweku Yeboah said, it all started with his humorous conversations with Kwame Sefa Kaye on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo show.
According to him, he started this just to spice up their morning before his presentation of sports news on Kokrokoo, however as time went on, listeners expressed unimaginable interest in the ‘segment’.
Again, he said on a trip to the United States of America, he was surprised at how most Ghanaians he encountered recognised him for making them laugh anytime he was on air, rather than recognising him for his sports orientation.
Against this backdrop, he was advised to stage a big event where he would have enough time to thrill the audience, and after second thought, he implemented those suggestions.
He told the paper that since the announcement, he had been overwhelmed by the level of support received from many stakeholders and Ghanaians in general.
Dan Kweku Yeboah urged everyone to grab a ticket ahead of time in order not to miss out.
The show is powered by Dan Kweku Yeboah Media Foundation and Image Bureau.
Organiser of Ghana Music Awards (GMA)-USA has honoured Founder of Reign House Chapel, Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, for his enormous support to the music industry.
GMA-USA, led by the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Denise Boafo, affectionately called Don, made the presentation on Sunday, October 12, at the Chapel.
Presenting the citation, Mr Boafo said Prophet Eric Boahen has been a support system for various sections of Ghana’s music ecosystem.
This, he said, has gone a long way to keep many gospel artistes in business regardless of challenges confronting the industry.
“This is in recognition of your remarkable contribution to the gospel music industry in Ghana and beyond,” he said.
He revealed that the Man of God substantially supported this year’s GMA-USA, a gesture which cannot be kept under the rug.
On his part, Prophet Eric Boahen expressed his appreciation to the organisers for the gesture.
According to him, the gesture was a motivation to him and others to continously support the cause of GMA-USA.
He charged the organisers to work assiduously to promote Ghana Music in the diaspora.

Renowned Ghanaian music heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has dedicated her seven awards won in 2025 to President John Dramani Mahama.
The musician and her management, led by Edem Mensah-Tsotorme, together with her husband, Mr Hopeson Adorye, called on the President at the Jubilee House on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Empress Gifty, in her remarks, said the visit was to officially congratulate the President, who has been a father figure for her for many years, and also update him on successes chalked in her career.
She thanked the President for his guidance over the years and promised to even do better in the years ahead, as she prepares to release her new song for the year.
The gospel musician also appealed to President Mahama to consider building a large seating auditorium for the creative arts industry.
She appealed to the President for a 10,000 to 30,000 large seating auditorium to improve the fortunes of the creative sector when it comes to events in the country.
This, she said, would go a long way to help the sector flourish and position the country for other international events in the future.
Additionally, she urged the President to ensure the creative sector gets substantial allocation in the next budget.
The President, on his part, thanked Empress Gifty, who he calls his daughter, and the team for the visit, expressing how proud he was of her growth.
Again, he charged her to continuously work even harder for more laurels.
President Mahama pledged his commitment to the growth of the creative arts industry, adding that with regard to a large seating auditorium for the space, he has received some designs and suggestions for a convention centre which are under consideration.
According to him, once suggestions were approved and issues of funding are addressed, this would serve a multipurpose function and host many activities throughout the year.
The President further pledged his unflinching support for the creative arts sector and assured of budgetary support in the years ahead.
