Mrs Rawlings, who stormed out of the show midway, slammed the comedian for using "vulgar" words in talking about women private parts.

Reacting to the former first lady's comments, DKB said: "It is depressing. I really felt depressed when I saw the story. When you wake up early in the morning and you hear such news, you definitely won’t feel good."

“I think I made a mistake by using the wrong jokes for the wrong people. I had done these jokes before but for a much younger audience and they went well,” he said.

In a scathing review of DKB's performance, Mrs Rawlings told Pulse.com.gh: "You don’t have to be vulgar talking about women’s part, men’s part, sleeping with each other in a very daft way.

“It is was uncouth behaviour. Excuse me for saying, I wasn’t there for that kind of thing. I’m not a child. A joke is a joke. You need to sit down and think and ask yourself, what is it that the people want, what can make them laugh and then you plan it out and come out to deliver it.

“You shouldn’t come and tell us about who is sleeping with who, who’s man’s size is smaller.

“I left because it was not right. Everybody has paid to come and watch with their children and there you are with this act.

According to the former first lady, comedy has nothing to do with vulgarity, giving thumps up to Nigerian comedians who she says are "really good."

“The Nigerian man was really good. He dwells on jokes and gives examples of things that the police were doing that were wrong, how he got into trouble with the police, how he got out of it. They were things that were funny.

"I’m saying once again jokes are not vulgarity, they are different. If Ghanaians say they want to become comedians and all they can do is to give us vulgarity, I’m not interested.

"I think it is wrong for our country to accept such behaviour. It is totally unacceptable."
