Akwasi is a Cornwall born, Ghanaian raised, Perth claimed calling Melbourne home stand up comedian.
Inspired by his eagerness to observe and find the humour in any situation, this West African comedian will take you on a journey through his mind that will have you thinking “damn, I never thought of it that way.”
Akwasi’s journey to becoming a stand up comedian has certainly not been a straight forward path but in the back of his mind he always carries a quote by the German philosopher Fredrich Nietzsche’s “he who has a why can bare almost any how.”
In Akwasi's new show All in, he talks about selling everything he owned after Melbourne brought an end to the world’s longest Covid-19 lockdowns totalling 262 days to travel across Africa. Akwasi delves into the highs and lows of his trip as well as his emotional state throughout and ultimately what keeps the fire burning inside.
