Yes, she is hilarious but no one was ready for a stand-up comedy act from TV presenter, Valentina Agyeiwaa, aka Afia Schwarzenegger when she mounted the stage last Friday during the maiden edition of the Ghana Television Prime Time Awards. She might not have won an award on the night as a nominee but she certainly won the hearts of the patrons at the auditorium of the National Theatre. Afia was on stage for about 10 minutes but the host of Kokooko on UTV had patrons double up with laughter as she told her jokes. She was a pleasant and hilarious surprise. In addition to Afia, Kwabena Kwabena and Daddy Lumba laced the awards night with performances. Kwabena Kwabena, the first act for the night, treated patrons to a rendition of both his old and new songs. Daddy Lumba as usual moved the audience although he performed three songs. Patrons danced and sang along with him when he performed Ye Nia Wo Ho Be To Wo(Yentie Obiaa), and Ye Ne Wo Sri Kwa. At the end of the night, 21 awards were presented in the competitive category which includes 17 primetime and four popular awards. Three honourary awards were given to deserving veterans in the television industry.
