Laugh Out Loud GH to nurture comedians

By Bernard Yaw ASHIADEY

Comedy in Ghana is set to take a step further in the right direction as entertainment TV channel GH One is coming out with a comedy reality TV show dubbed Laugh Out Loud GH.

Set to be the biggest search in the history of GH Comedy, the show welcomes every comedian from every corner of the country to an audition. It is open to individual comedians as well as group comedy acts.

For comedians who think they have the attitude and style to crack ribs like the very best in the business, Laugh Out Loud GH is the right platform for them to launch their comedy career.

It is the search for the funniest man in GH so comedians are encouraged to beef up their material and get ready for a life-changing career platform. 

For over eight years, Charterhouse Ghana, parent company of GH One and producers of the biannual Night of 1000 laughs series, has entertained Ghanaians and unearthed some commendable comedy talents.

The winner of the Laugh Loud GH wins a lucrative performance contract plus a debut performance at the RLG Independence Day comedy jam in March, which is one of GH’s biggest comedy shows featuring heavyweights like Africa's King of Comedy Basket Mouth, Klint De Drunk, and others. 

The history of Ghana’s comedy industry can be said to have started from Bob Cole, who featured in the hilarious movie “I Told You So.” This legend could have easily passed for a comedian today.

Comedy legends such as Fritz Baffour and Kwaku Sintim Misa(KSM) have in their own way helped build the comedy industry. 

Benson Ohene Boateng, aka Funny Face, one of Ghana’s finest comedians, is undoubtedly putting Ghana on the world map when comedy is mentioned.

Comedians can register for an audition slot by texting their name to 1758 across all networks and catch the search team at the GHOne studios today.

Laugh Out Loud GH will for the next couple of weeks air on GH One TV as a reality TV show. Days and times will soon be announced.
