Ghana 2026 entertainment awards

Overview

In late July 2026 Ghana announced the schedule for its sixth Ghana Comedy Awards, slated for 1 August at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Accra. The ceremony will honor comedians for work done in 2025, feature a line‑up of popular performers, and offer Silver and Gold ticket tiers.

A few days later, on 1 August, organizers of the Ghana Arts and Entertainment Awards (GAEA) released their 2026 nominee list, marking the event’s seventh anniversary. The same announcement highlighted the launch of the 2026 Guinness Ghana DJ Awards, introducing a new award category and fan‑reward programmes ahead of its 15th anniversary. Both events underscore expanding recognition and commercial support for Ghana’s comedy, music, and DJ scenes.

The Ghana Comedy Awards ceremony took place on 1 August 2026 at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Ridge, Accra. Aka Ebenezer emerged as the biggest winner, securing Comedian of the Year and Comic Actor of the Year. Other honours went to Clemento Suarez (Comedy Theatre Act and Comic MC/Orator), Lekzy Decomic (Stand‑up Comedian), Shatta Wale (Alternative Comedy Act) and Sabinus (African Comedian). Joy FM’s Weekend City Show was named Comic Radio Show of the Year, with host Kofi Hayford accepting the award.
