Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, who is better known by his stage name Funny Face, told Adom FM about the time he had to travel from Circle to Tema to do a comedy show.
Funny Face was a guest on The Day Show with Berla Mundi to talk about his return to the spotlight after getting help for his mental health.
Funny Face, in recounting his life before stardom, mentioned that he once walked from Circle to Tema in order to make a one-minute joke on Adom Fm, a radio station that was then located in the Tema community.
“I worked my way up. I used to walk from Circle to Tema just to go and crack a minute joke on Adom FM. People know about it,” he said. Funny Face debunked the perception that fame found him easily. He emphasized that he had paid his dues and the walk to Adom FM was one of those experiences.
“I used two and half hours to go to Tema. I would jog to Tema. I had to suffer to gain fame. I had to go to Toli masters in 2006, Chorkor trotro in 2008, Hottest Host on TV3 with my red and stripped suit,” he recounted.
“Going through all this and then messing it up when I had a good thing. I realized I wasn’t listening so it hit me and when I listened, look at me now,” he added.
