OB Amponsah remarked that Ghanaians tend to be reserved when it comes to laughing at political jokes, especially if it targets a particular party.

On the contrary, he noted that Ghanaians generally enjoy humor centered around the average Ghanaian life, such as jokes about trotro and relatable experiences like thrift shopping at places like Kantamanto and Kwame Nkrumah Circle.

“Every day struggles, because they can really relate with it,” he stressed.

Speaking with Prince Benjamin (PB) of Class News exclusively, the TV host was seen this past weekend on the set of the 3 Faces of Jeffery Nortey program.

He observed that jokes about alleged luxuries tend to divide rather than excite the audience.

“But when you talk about driving a car, only a section of the audience can relate.

“The everyday struggles of the average Ghanaian [is what they like],” he emphasised.

He gave the example of a recent performance he did in front of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

“Yesterday, I was performing to Nana Addo and I was talking about how I drive a small car, and people mistake it for Uber… and he was laughing. You know, because, he understood the concept,” OB narrated.

For the optometrist cum comic star, this proves, “when you talk about the average stuff, even the elites understand it because they’ve been there before”.

On Constitution Day, January 7, 2024, OB Amponsah showcases his fifth comic special dubbed: ‘Surviving Akuffo’ at Jamestown Coffee Roasters, Osu, Accra.

“The plan is to do an intimate session with my fans,” he said, revealing plans to tape and stream the exclusive content online for a larger audience at a later date.

Regarding the special's title, OB playfully mentioned that the intentional inclusion of the two 'f's might imply that Dampare should take it. Dr. George Akuffo Dampare currently serves as the Inspector General of Police (IGP) in Ghana.
