Comedians born in Jamestown

One of the oldest quarters of Accra, Jamestown grew around British colonial forts and remains a tightly knit coastal fishing community on the Gulf of Guinea. Its weathered lighthouse, faded facades and vibrant street life have made it a magnet for photographers and artists. Rather than a separate city, it is a historic district of Ghana's capital. Its energetic street culture offers natural stages for the performances, music and comedy that increasingly reach urban Ghana.
