Four Generations, One Stage: Lekzy DeComic honours Ghana’s comedy pioneers

Award-winning Ghanaian stand-up comedian Lekzy DeComic delivered a memorable night of humor, nostalgia, and celebration at his fourth solo standup special, Lekzy Unleashed: The Godfathers Edition, held on November 7, 2026, at the UPSA Auditorium in Accra.

Following the success of his previous specials, including Too Cute to Be Mute, CanPAIN MESSage, and The New False, Lekzy dedicated this landmark edition to honoring the pioneer "Godfathers" of the Ghanaian comedy industry.

The primary objective of the evening was to pay homage to the icons who laid the foundation for modern Ghanaian comedy.

Pacesetters including Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM), Fritz Baffour, Tommy Annan-Forson, and James Brown were recognized for their decades of mentorship and breaking barriers in media and stage performance.

Lekzy brought four generations of comedic talent together under one roof, acknowledging the sacrifices of these trailblazers while paving the way for the contemporary movement.
