Ghanaian comedian Lekzy Decomic is advocating for a shift in the way discussions about comedy are led in the industry. He believes that having pundits who have a deep understanding of comedy will not only improve the quality of conversations but also create a more supportive environment for comedians.
In a recent interview on Joy Prime, Lekzy expressed his frustration with the current state of comedy discussions in Ghana. He emphasized the importance of having pundits who comprehend the craft, business, and culture of comedy to take the lead in these conversations.
This call for informed discussions comes at a time when Ghana’s comedy scene is experiencing significant growth, with a new generation of comedians rising to popularity. Despite this growth, the industry still faces challenges such as limited funding, inadequate investors, and a lack of understanding from outsiders.
Lekzy believes that having knowledgeable pundits in the industry will help address these challenges. He stressed the need for insightful commentary, constructive criticism, and informed analysis to not only elevate the discussion around comedy but also provide valuable feedback for comedians striving to enhance their craft.
His call for comedy-savvy pundits has resonated with his peers, who share his concerns about the current state of industry discussions.
