Ghanaian comedian and event organiser OB Amponsah has disclosed the financial struggles he faces hosting comedy events, despite his growing popularity and achievements.
In a Hitz FM interview, OB shared that his recent Bukom Boxing Arena show left him with a GH₵40,000 loss, highlighting event-organizing challenges.
Despite setbacks, OB views investing in his craft as worthwhile. His 10th-anniversary comedy show in December 2024 filled the 4,000-capacity Bukom Boxing Arena.

His revelations highlights the financial struggles Ghanaian comedians endure, showing how passion and persistence often outweigh profit in the comedy industry.
