Ghanaian optometrist and comedian OB Amponsah made history by filling the 4,000-seat Bukom Boxing Arena for his 10th-anniversary comedy show.This milestone is considered a groundbreaking achievement in Ghana's comedy scene, as it marks the first time a local comedian has filled such a large venue for a comedy event.

OB Amponsah shared that after performing in smaller venues over the years, he felt it was time to take the leap and host his anniversary show in a much larger space. He believed this move would elevate the Ghanaian comedy scene they have been building.The comedian had the audience laughing non-stop with jokes covering topics like politics, relationships, sex, and other bold, unorthodox subjects.

His fearlessness in addressing sensitive and taboo topics set him apart from many of his peers.The event also featured several other talented Ghanaian comedians, who performed to the delight of the crowd. Many of their acts centered around the December 7 election, giving the audience material they could easily relate to.

Performers included DKB, Jacinta, Ebenezer Dwomoh, Ranzy Ray, Smile, Kwaku40, Kojo Pjay, Oojoo, Papa Yaw, Putogo, Foster Romanus, Jerry Ashinyo, Kwame Obed, Canadian comedian Emerson, Miriam Kirk from the USA, and Johnny Pula from Botswana.<img src="
