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.
Organisers of Rhythms On Da Runway have announced November 28, 2026 as the date for the 16th edition of the event, to be held at the Palms Convention Centre.
This year’s edition, themed: ‘UNBOUND: Because You’ve Got Style’, is focused on breaking barriers in fashion and creating space for all.
According to the Chief Executive Officer of Nineteen57 Events, Shirley Emma Tibilla, affectionately called Cookie Tee, the focus of this edition is to give everyone an opportunity to express themselves without barriers.
She told The Spectator that as a leading fashion brand in the country and beyond, they want to open doors for people regardless of their colour, size and abilities among others.
Described by the BBC as “the biggest cultural exposé in Africa,” Rhythms On Da Runway returns this year as a celebration of fashion, music and individual expression without limits.
Organisers say for years fashion has been shaped by narrow ideas of who belongs on the runway, with certain body types, ages and abilities placed at the centre while many others are left out. UNBOUND seeks to open that picture.
This year’s runway will welcome people with different abilities, backgrounds, body types and personal stories. The theme will influence model casting, the collections, the stories told through the clothes and the way guests experience the event.
Beyond the runway, ‘Unbound’ will create room for young people to learn from established designers, gain practical experience and explore careers within fashion and the wider creative industry.
It will also open conversations around adaptive fashion, accessible event design, talent discovery, mentorship and employment.
The 2026 edition will bring together fashion designers and music stars from Ghana and across the African diaspora, with strong collections, live performances and an all-star cast of celebrity models.
The event will also feature the Black Star Awards, which will honour public figures shaping Africa’s future through leadership and contributions to the continent’s Orange Economy.
Organisers say the list of participating designers, performing artists, award recipients and other event details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Veteran Ghanaian gospel musician Bernice Offei has passed on Saturday August 12, 2026.
She was 63.
The news of her demise flashed through social media on Saturday, prompting an outpouring of grief from musicians, fans and members of the Christian community, who have since paid tribute to her distinguished career.
She gained strong reputation as a singer, songwriter and minister whose music transcended generations.
Some of her popular songs include ‘Kaa She Gbeyei,’ ‘It’s By Grace,’ ‘Nyame Kokroko’ and ‘N’adom Ara Kwa.’
Her contribution to the growth of gospel music in Ghana was recognised in 2009 when she won the Best Female Vocal Performance and Songwriter of the Year awards at the Ghana Music Awards, now known as the Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
Beyond music, Mrs Offei distinguished herself in academia and professional life. She attended Achimota School before earning an MPhil in Crop Science from the University of Ghana and a Master’s Degree in Information Technology from University College London in the United Kingdom.
Mrs Offei was married to Prof. Samuel Kwame Offei, a former Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, and the couple had two children.
Her death comes days after she was reported missing but was later found safe.
Mrs Offei leaves behind a rich music legacy that continues to inspire faith, hope and resilience among generations of listeners. -GNA
