Dr. Likee & Opoku Light Up TV3 with Laughter, Hustle, and Real Talk

Ghana’s king of street comedy, Dr. Likee—born Ebenezer Akwasi Antwi—brought his signature humor and grit to TV3’s The Absolute Show this week, alongside creative partner and fan favorite, Opoku Wilson. Known for their viral skits and no-holds-barred storytelling, the two opened up about life before fame, the grind behind the content, and their unshakable mission to support the next generation of Ghanaian talent.

From the moment they stepped on set, the energy was electric. Even before the interv
iew began, Dr. Likee had the studio laughing. But behind the jokes was a clear message: the journey hasn’t been easy, and the mission goes beyond making people laugh.

“They can’t break me. They never will,” he said early on. “My head still my head—stay real.”


Street Roots to Screen Kings

Before the fame, it was all hustle. Dr. Likee recalled his early years in Kumasi—street life, odd jobs, and taking on any acting role that came his way, whether it was a gangster or a “wicked man.” For him, it was all part of the journey.

Opoku, known for his calm presence and sharp performances, spoke about the organic path he followed into comedy. The chemistry between the two is undeniable—raw, real, and completely unforced.

What changed everything? Short-form digital content. TikTok and YouTube became their stage, and Ghana—and the diaspora—tuned in.

“We just create,” Dr. Likee said. “Sometimes you don’t even anticipate it going viral.”

But viral it went. The duo’s skits tapped into everyday Ghanaian life with humor that cut through class, language, and location. The laughs were real—and so was the impact.


Fans Speak Loud and Clear

Throughout the live show, the WhatsApp line buzzed with messages from across the country. Some fans wanted to know about missing cast members like Chichu. Others joked about Dr. Likee’s charm with women. But many simply said thank you—for the laughter, for the honesty, and for always showing love to up-and-coming creators.

One message summed it up perfectly:
“I like Dr. Likee not just because of the skits, but because he always helps the young actors. He’s always encouraging others to lift the youth.”


Industry Reality Check

They didn’t shy away from the challenges. When asked about Ghana’s entertainment scene, Dr. Likee admitted it can feel like a maze of hustle, dead ends, and broken promises. But despite the frustrations, both he and Opoku remain focused on their mission: keep showing up, keep creating, and never lose authenticity.


Next Stop: Theatre Junction

That relentless work ethic now takes center stage at Tooli Junction this Saturday at 7 PM, where Dr. Likee will lead a live comedy showdown guaranteed to deliver big laughs and even bigger energy.

It’s more than a show—it’s a celebration of 28 years of grind, growth, and grassroots success. From street CDs to smartphone screens, Dr. Likee has stayed true to the hustle. And now, he's inviting fans—families, friends, old and new—to be part of the journey.

Tickets are on sale now, and it promises to be an unforgettable night of laughter, storytelling, and raw Ghanaian talent.


Final Words

As the cameras wrapped, Dr. Likee left one final message hanging in the air: support matters. And it shouldn’t just go to the stars at the top—young creatives need it just as much, if not more.

After nearly three decades in the game, Dr. Likee and Opoku aren’t just making content. They’re shaping culture, mentoring the next generation, and proving that realness still wins.
