Ghanaian comedian OB Amponsah after suffering backlash from some people for making a political joke about \u2018Mahama\u2019, is back in his element.<\/p>\n
He will be hosting a show dubbed \u2018Political Refugee\u2019 on January 18, 2019, at the Snap Cinema inside the Accra Metropolitan Assembly.<\/p>\n
\u201cis basically about me sharing my pain about the stuff I went through when I tried telling a political joke. It\u2019s me laughing at my pain.<\/p>\n
\u2018Political Refugee\u2019 is scheduled for January 18, 2020<\/p>\n
OB recently thrilled patrons at Citi FM\u2019s Decemba 2 Rememba with lung-splitting jokes that got him a lot of positive reviews.<\/p>\n
The low moment, however, was when he made a joke about the meaning of the name Mahama \u2013 equating it to corruption. Even though he quickly issued a disclaimer that it was a joke, some people (especially members of the NDC) took offence.<\/p>\n
After the show, he received a lot of flak for that joke. He consequently issued an apology.<\/p>\n
He recounts that he even got threats from people who felt offended by the joke.<\/p>\n
