Easter Comedy Show was one of the biggest platforms for the guys. It gave them some form of mileage they didn\u2019t have on the Charterhouse platform,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the show ran successfully for eight years before the break.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Since its inception, the Easter Comedy Show has hosted some of Africa\u2019s finest comedians, including OB Amponsah, Lekzy DeComic, Foster Romanus, Jeneral Ntatia, Hogan, Akpororo, Kenny Blaq, Buchi, and Bovi, among others.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls
