ONE thing is now certain, Ghana’s reining comedy king and the drollest man the country currently boasts of can best be described as dynamic and multi-talented!
Aside the hilarious arena of stand-up comedy where he has successfully stamped his authority as one of the best in Ghana, if not the best, the gentleman also known as Chemu has undoubtedly established himself as a pro in the league of brilliant Ghanaian Actors with his fantastic showing as the lead character in the most hilarious television series today, Chorkor Trotro.
At the recently held Night of 1012 Laughs and Music at the Dome of the International Conference Center where he co-hosted the show with his manager, George Quaye, he revealed to the world another part of his creativity yet to be known.
To the shock and awe of all, Funny Face busted onto the stage with sensational hip life maestro, Castro as they performed his first single ‘Banana Sweet’. It was another spectacle when Funny Face unleashed his unimaginable rap lines and words to get the entire auditorium screaming.
August 13th & 14th 2011 marks another great day in his life and career as he mounts the stage at the National Theater for his first ever stage play, Run For Your Wife. This will be his unprecedented entry into stage drama according to the comedian.
‘I am very passionate about whatever I do and I do it whole heartedly. This is another part of me that the world is yet to see. I have been waiting for this opportunity and it will just be another show. It is a challenge and I welcome it whole heartedly.’ according to the Swag-on Papa.
Run for Your Wife chronicles the life of Adjei Sowah, an Accra based taxi driver with a very tricky secret. He’s married to two women that live five minutes apart, yet do not know about each other’s existence. This he’s achieved by maintaining a rather tight schedule and a clever lifestyle. All is well until an accident interrupts his busy schedule inviting the police and media – two organizations that do not understand privacy as far as he is concerned. How smart can an ordinary taxi driver be to prevent matters from getting out of hand when the two wives find out about each other?
Run for Your Wife brings together the very best of actors known to the movie and theater fraternity onto one stage.
The show runs for two nights with two shows every night. All theater lovers cannot afford to miss out on the experience of watching this phenomenal farceat the National Theater on August 13th and 14th, 2011.
The star studded farce stages some of the most respected names in Ghanaian arts and theatre today including the likes of Ecow Smith Asante from Suncity fame, Adjetey Annang (Pusher) from Adam’s Apple and Things we do for love fame, Roland Adom from Suncity fame, actress of the Year winner, Naa Asorkor Mensah Doku, Dzifa Sogbe and Ken Fiati from Games People Play and of course Ghana’s youngest legend, Funny Face – the swaaag-on- Papa!
