Standup act, Comedian Jerry says that standup comedy created by Ghanaians, for the Ghanaian people is beginning to pick up. Jerry revealed that Ghanaians these days patronize comedy made by their own people, hence the future of the industry looks bright.
In an interview with Aloud Africa, he stated; "formerly, Nigerians were running the game, but people are now beginning to patronize Ghanaian comedy so with time, it would be okay."
 
The Ghanaian-Nigerian comedian shares that unlike the past there are regular shows to perform on, and this has given the chance for upcoming talents to prove their worth.

"There are shows to perform on, we have Lekzy's monthly comedy show, Laughline. We also have iiKitchen which happens monthly too, and some other shows which happen", he said.

Ghanaian standup comedy has once suffered  a major setback. The industry years ago, saw complete dominance by its Nigerian counterparts. Nonetheless, the industry is beginning to match up to the challenge. 

Jerry is a standup comedian based in Ghana. His performances include; Laughline, Laugh Kitchen, Laugh a billion, LMHO, Crack a rib, and the Night of Theatre and Comedy.
