Like eagles, Ghanaian comedians Ebenezer Dwomoh and Samuel Madjitey popularly known as Oh Joe soared high as they showed their prowess by taking turns to treat the audience at the Africa No Filter Summit in Nairobi Kenya to remarkable performances leaving them with so much laughter.
The two well-respected Ghanaian comedians have over the years built enviable careers making them some of the most sought-after comedians in the country.
With annual comedy shows to their names, Ebenezer Dwomoh has over the years held sold-out shows including his comedy special, I’m Not Fooling.

Africa No Filter aims to shift stereotypes about Africa since they impact the way the world sees Africa and how Africa sees itself. It therefore supports storytellers (filmmakers, content creators, visual artists, journalists, writers etc.) to shift the stereotypical narratives about Africa one story at a time.
