The Executive Director of Event Factory Ghana Limited, Nabil Alhassan, has opened up why he has paused the annual Easter Comedy Show.
The event, which takes place every Easter season, did not happen in 2025.
Speaking to Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM’s entertainment analysis programme Showbiz A-Z, Nabil said that although he initiated the event to help project the Ghanaian comedy industry, he has had to suspend it for now.
He stated that the decision was due to financial challenges and the lack of sponsorship support.
“The reason we have paused a bit is sponsorship. Easter Comedy Show was one of the biggest platforms for the guys. It gave them some form of mileage they didn’t have on the Charterhouse platform,” he said.
According to him, the show ran successfully for eight years before the break.
The last edition took place on 30th March 2024 at the Accra International Conference Centre. It featured performances by Basket Mouth, Oh Joo, Ebenezer Dwomoh, Unknown, Jacinta, Buchi, Koboko, Forever, and Igosave. There were also musical performances from George Jarah, Trigmatic and Kena.
Since its inception, the Easter Comedy Show has hosted some of Africa’s finest comedians, including OB Amponsah, Lekzy DeComic, Foster Romanus, Jeneral Ntatia, Hogan, Akpororo, Kenny Blaq, Buchi, and Bovi, among others.
