A politician assaulted me backstage after a performance - Lekzy Decomic recounts
Lekzy Decomic recounted that a politician assaulted him backstage after a performance back in 2014. The politician "grabbed me by the neck" and said, "If you don't have any jokes to tell, go and find a better job. You cannot make jokes about my flagbearer."
The politician accused Lekzy of being contracted to make sensitive jokes aimed at discrediting the flagbearer. Lekzy apologized and his manager intervened, explaining that the jokes were merely part of the comedy act. Lekzy admitted that this was "one of the most terrible days of my career."
Due to this experience, Lekzy revealed that he usually avoids comedy that targets high-profile personalities or touches on sensitive issues, including topics like rape. He made the disclosure in an interview on Hitz FM's Daybreak Hitz with Kwame Dadzie and Doreen Avio, during the second edition of Laughing in Our Language: The Power of Ghanaian Comedy. He continues to entertain audiences while carefully navigating the tricky balance between satire and sensitivity in Ghanaian comedy.
