What if comedy instead of music helped Ghana become known worldwide? - Lekzy DeComic

Lekzy DeComic noted on Ghanaweb TV that even lesser-known comedians have been successful in filling venues like the National Theatre.

He questioned the industry's bias for comedians who draw huge crowds over musicians who have trouble filling smaller venues.

"So why don't we shift the focus to comedians?" asked Lekzy DeComic in response to the suggestion to focus on them. The National Theatre is nearly full, including the less well-liked ones. A comedian might be able to fill the O2 Arena if we pay attention to them for five years.

Lekzy DeComic encouraged Ghana's entertainment sector not to let Nigeria's success have too much of an impact.

To show off the brilliance of the country, he urged research of various art genres, particularly humor.

In Ghana, comedians like DKB and OB Amponsah have performed to capacity audiences. We give Nigeria much too much power over our entertainment industry. We put pressure on ourselves to succeed simply because a Nigerian creative has.

What if Ghana were to become famous for something other than its music? What if it's a joke?" he pondered.

The comic also discussed the dangers of low attendance at events.
