Ghanaian stand-up comedian; DKB says the comparison between Nigerian stand-up comedy and Ghanaian comedy will continue for a long time with Nigerians maintaining a strong lead because Ghanaians watched Nigerians and started doing comedy. �Comparing the two, I�d say Nigeria has a comedy industry whiles Ghana has something like a comedy compound house�, he told rawgist.com�s Bernard Buachi, adding that Nigeria is going to continue to dominate comedy as far as the two countries are concerned for a long time. He was however happy stand-up comedy is growing gradually in Ghana. DKB also sougt to differentiate stand-up comedy from other forms of comic crafts saying; �a stand-up comedian does a monologue as opposed to comic actors and stand-by comedians. Stand-up comedians stand on stage alone with a microphone and make people laugh�. DKB, David Aglah, Foster Romanus and Khemikal are expected to hit the Ashanti regional capital on Friday 25th September, 2015 in what is expected to be the largest comedy event in a long time within the Ashanti region. DKB explains that the event which takes place at the Golden Bean Hotel is part of their effort to spread stand-up comedy to other parts of the country outside Accra. When asked what residents of the Ashanti region should expect, he said � there are things about the Ashanti region that have not yet been said and we are going to speak the unspeakable and unforbid the forbidden�.
