It was no surprise that tickets for this particular event –1015 Laughs and Music-- run out of sale and patrons who didn’t want to be left out of the fun, thronged the premises of Charter House hoping to get a ticket.

The series comes on twice a year, July and in December. On Boxing Day, the likes of Emeka Smith, Elenu, MC Shakara, Helen Paul and Pencil excited patrons  made up of actress Jackie Appiah, Nollywood actor Hank Anuku, Black Stars’ striker Asamoah Gyan among others, of which Samini, Becca and Rex Omar providing  good music to climax a humorous night.

Once again Helen Paul performance was on point and during her performance on stage, she held a cat walk competition between Hanks Anku, Asamoah Gyan and one of the patrons and the prize was a date with our lovely songstress Becca. At the end of the catwalk competition, Hanks Anku won hands down as the crowd cheered him on to victory.
