Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, better known by his stage name Funny Face, was born on January 10, 1981, in Ghana. Growing up, Funny Face had a passion for comedy and entertainment from a young age. He attended school in Ghana but his dreams of becoming a comedian were always at the forefront of his mind.
Funny Face's big break came in 2010 when he performed at the Night of 1010 Laughs. His unique style of comedy and infectious personality won over the audience, and he quickly became a household name in Ghana. His performances on TV3 Ghana's sitcom Chorkor Trotro and the comedy series Cow and Chicken further solidified his status as a top comedian in the country.
Funny Face has had his fair share of ups and downs in his personal life. He was in a long-term relationship with Vanessa, with whom he shares three children, including twins Ella and Bella. However, in June 2021, Funny Face announced that he was expecting twins with another woman, signaling the end of his relationship with Vanessa.
Despite his success in the entertainment industry, Funny Face has faced his fair share of legal troubles. In February 2021, he made headlines when he was arrested for firing a gun in a pub in Kasoa, Ghana. The incident shocked many of his fans and brought negative attention to the comedian.
Aside from his legal troubles, Funny Face has also been involved in several controversies throughout his career. In March 2024, he posted a video on Instagram featuring the late actor Chadwick Boseman, which garnered mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.
Despite the ups and downs in his personal and professional life, Funny Face continues to entertain audiences with his unique brand of comedy. He remains one of the most popular comedians in Ghana and is constantly working on new projects to showcase his talent to the world.
