Ghanaian stand-up comedian, Lekzy DeComic, has named comedienne Jacinta Ocansey as running mate for his upcoming comedy special, ‘The New False.’

Jacinta will be playing a supporting role to Lekzy whose comedy event comes off September 28, 2024 at the UPSA Auditorium in Accra.

The name of the show, ‘The New False’ is a parody of the new political movement, The New Force, led by business magnate Nana Kwame Bediako.

Following the model of the unveiling of Nana Kwame Bediako as a Presidential Aspirant, Lekzy mounted masked images in town prior to the announcement of his comedy show. This generated conversations with most people suggesting it could be another political figure.

The New False comedy show promises to be his biggest and most hilarious comedy event in the history of Ghana’s arts and pop culture.

With this show, Lekzy and his production hub, 2Cute Entertainment intend to douse the political tension in the country with humour.

‘The New False’ comedy special will not just make people laugh but to also drum home some of the pressing needs of the Ghanaian citizenry in a witty and non-provocative fashion.

Lekzy has won the hearts of people with his comedy specials such as ‘Too Cute to be Mute 1k’, ‘Too Cute to be Mute (Amplified Edition) and ‘CanPAIN MESSage.’

In Ghana, he has performed at high-profile events like Laughline Comedy Show, Easter Comedy Show, Comedy Fiesta, MMC Live, Night of Laughs and Music, Romanus Incomplete, Journey to the West, among others.

Lekzy’s hard work has also taken him outside the country to perform at comedy shows such as Bloemfontein International Comedy Festival, Extreme Comedy Wednesday – Hosted by Thabiso Mhlongo & Bexta Jolly Cool, Weekly Comedy Show, Monday Night Comedy @ Six Cockta, Coming from Africa – Columbus USA and Go Bananas Comedy Club
USA – GH Memorial Holiday Party in the United States of America.

He has won a number of awards including the Best Comedy Special award with ‘CanPAIN MESSage’ at the 2024 Ghana Comedy Awards.

Tickets for The New False are selling at GHS 150 (regular) and GHS 250 (VIP). They can be purchased via shortcode *714*800# or via https://veetickets.com/ev/BuyTicket/1761
