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.

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
