Ghanaian comedian Emmanuel Nkansah Ansong, popularly known as Lezky Decomic, recently made an intriguing revelation during an interview with Berla Mundi on the Day Show.
Lezky, considered one of the most brilliant comedians in Ghana, shared an experience he had at an event attended by affluent individuals.
“Abrantie has a fashion show and invited me and a couple of millionaires. When I got there, I wanted to act like a big boy. So, I got a glass of water and decided to socialize. There was this table with Cheddar and his guys AND he was like, ‘Come around. let’s propose a toast. So he asked if it was champagne or whiskey and I said its water and he said, ‘I don’t propose water’. It just brought me down. I started talking and these people were doing their thing.”
According to him, the wealthy table did not pay much attention to his performance, while another table, possibly from his hometown, responded positively. Lezky focused on this receptive group and left the event satisfied.
“The whole setup was actually built for comedy so I found one table. I think they are from where I come from. They were responding so well so I was like ‘Today, you are my audience’. I focused on them, did what I had to do and I left,” he stated.
Based on this encounter, Lezky believes that rich people do not laugh at comedy shows. He mentioned that although they may not laugh, they still express appreciation for the performance.
He said, “For rich people, they won’t laugh but they still come to you and go like ‘That was really good, you’ll go far”.
