The clip, posted to OB Amponsah's Instagram on June 20, 2026, captured a magical concert moment — hundreds of phone flashlights raised in the air inside a packed Church Auditorium, creating a sea of light in the darkness.
OB Amponsah triumphantly panned his selfie-mode camera over the electric crowd before turning to pull his co-headliner, Lekzy DeDecomic, into the frame.
The two shared a quick joke before OB led the audience in a rousing "OH — Ohio!" call-and-response that sent the room into a frenzy.
OB Amponsah stirred emotions with the on-screen text on the video, which he captioned:
"Just Two Ghana Boys Living Their Dream 🇬🇭🇺🇸. Ohio is Home! ❤️"
The comedic duo are currently touring the United States on the Black Star comedy tour, timed to coincide with the Ghana Black Stars' exploits at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Below is the Instagram post shared by OB Amponsah showing the aftermath of his successful Ohio show.
OB Amponsah is no stranger to wearing multiple hats. A qualified optometrist by training, he has built a parallel career as one of Ghana's most beloved stand-up comedians, hosting the popular Half Serious Show on GhOne TV and performing at comedy events across Ghana and the United States.
Lekzy DeDecomic is equally celebrated on the Ghanaian comedy circuit, and together the pair make for a formidable headline act.
The sold-out Columbus show is a milestone moment for both comics, representing the power of Ghana's diaspora entertainment scene and the appetite American-based Ghanaians have for homegrown talent on their doorstep.
