Entertainment critic, Sally Frimpong Mann, has charged Ghanaian comedians to give respect to DKB, for holding the fort when comedy was inactive in Ghana.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz<\/strong>, Sally\u2019s words came as a piece of advice to comedian Jacinta who was in the Hitz FM <\/strong>studio to promote her maiden show dubbed, One Night Stand<\/em>.<\/p>\n Sally stressed that DKB\u2019s involvement in making comedy attractive in Ghana cannot be overlooked.<\/p>\n \u201cI think one person you guys are not glorifying is DKB. He held you down when a lot of people said Ghanaian comedians are not funny.<\/p>\n \u201cThey tagged him as the one who is not funny. He single-handedly held you down. He did you a lot of good.\u201d<\/p>\n To explain how mentally strong DKB is, Sally referred to how comedian now-turned-musician, David Oscar bowed out of the comedy scene.<\/p>\n The former host of Laugh a Minute<\/em> which aired on Viasat 1 TV was believed to have exited the comedy industry because it was not lucrative.<\/p>\n He was also heavily criticized because people claimed he was not funny.<\/p>\n According to Sally, DKB\u2019s bravery and refusal to listen to critics eventually built the industry to where it is today.<\/p>\n \u201cDavid Oscar found himself doing reggae and dancehall all because people kept saying he was not funny. Now he has found himself a new job.<\/p>\n \u201cDKB stood his ground and proved to Ghanaians that you people are funny.\u201d<\/p>\n Comedy in Ghana has found its feet in the entertainment industry with the likes of Lekzy Decomic, OB Amponsah, Jacinta, and many others contributing their quota to its growth.<\/p>\n DKB, born Derick Kobina Bonney, on September 3, 1985, is a Ghanaian stand-up comedy act, TV Presenter, actor, and event host.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
