There are also some new exciting categories in this year including ‘Tim WasanWood Artiste of the Year’, ‘After Covid Wossop Artiste of the Year’ and ‘Conversion of the Year’.
Speaking to Nana Lyon, host of the ‘Drive with the Area Gang’, members of the WMT Crew, OB Amponsah, Leksy DeComic and Jerry Ashinyor promised fans of an even bigger and more exciting awards show this year.
OB Amponsah noted that the exciting WMT radio show on Pluzz FM has had significant impact on not just their individual careers as comedians, but the entire comedy sector in Ghana.
He explained that the show presented a much needed platform for not the hosts but other young comedians to practice their craft during the thick of the Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanying social restrictions last year.
Speaking on the WMT Awards, WMT Crew assured all fans that all is set to stage yet another exciting event that will bring together not just top comedians, but also artistes for amazing music performances as well all other major players in the Ghanaian showbiz space.
The WMT Awards 2021 launch was supported by Betway Ghana, and Kemlis Catering Services among others.
