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.
GHANAIAN rapper Sarkodie will take his flagship Rapperholic concert to the United Kingdom for the first time, marking a major milestone for the annual event that has become a staple of Ghana’s music calendar.
The show, scheduled for the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London on Friday, March 6, 2026, would be produced in partnership with Bizzle Entertainment and Kilimanjaro Live.
Sarkodie, one of Africa’s most decorated hip-hop artistes, said the move represents a cultural shift and feels timely.
“This is more than just a concert; it’s about expanding the culture beyond borders,” he said in a social media post, adding that after 13 years of hosting Rapperholic in Ghana, taking it to the UK is a natural progression.
Bizzle Entertainment, which previously staged Fameye’s “2 in a Guy” concert and Highlife legend Amakye Dede’s 50th anniversary show in London, would co-produce the event.
Rapperholic, launched in 2013, has grown into one of Ghana’s biggest music brands, drawing thousands of fans each year.
The London edition is expected to attract a diverse audience and further cement Sarkodie’s influence on the global Afrobeats and rap music scenes. –GNA
