She might not have won an award on the night as a nominee but she certainly won the hearts of the patrons at the auditorium of the National Theatre. Afia was on stage for about 10 minutes but the host of Kokooko on UTV had patrons double up with laughter as she told her jokes. She was a pleasant and hilarious surprise.
