Setting
The story is set in Accra Ghana where a young man named Dada Boat, played by Mikki Osei Berko, is involved in various comical situations and scams. The comedy in Dada Boat arises from his attempt to imitate African American Hip-Hop culture, which is somewhat frowned upon by the Ghanaian locals. He is often seen wearing various items of jewellery and in particular, a large chain. His best friend is Hotman, another character in the programme. Although the story is fictional, it is set in a real life setting, unlike other programmes, which are often recorded on specially made sets. Dada Boat is a relative of the actor in Taxi Driver known as Master Richard. They are both played by the Ghanaian actor Mikki Osei Berko.

Famous quotes containing the word setting:
“The world is ... the natural setting of, and field for, all my thoughts and all my explicit perceptions. Truth does not “inhabit” only “the inner man,” or more accurately, there is no inner man, man is in the world, and only in the world does he know himself.”
—Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1907–1961)
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
