The Churchill Show Is A Slump: Ronald Kelehi

Daniel Ndambuki popularly known as Churchill is considered to be the Godfather of comedy.Many have praised him for his show but not everyone is satisfied,they want him to raise the bar .Ronald Kelehi of actors.co.ke has this to say about The Churchill show and Kenyan stand-Up comedy:

‘It’s about time Kenyan comedians thought about having ghost-writers for their material. With all respect to Mr. Daniel Ndambuki and being a pioneer in the Kenyan Comedic scene, Churchill show is on a slump…truthfully, but since there is no other comedian in sight with a TV show to fight for TV time or traffic and thus give him a push to come on stage with better material we just have to put up with that.”

He then continues”I am still waiting to see a One hour special by a Kenyan comedian that can tackle a variety of issues and not just tribal jokes, clown dressing and speaking in broken language.

The main point of humor is to provide amusement and provoke laughter but it also acts as a healer where one can relate to topics raised and help him build.  Sometimes all one wants is to get away from the norm or be encouraged that he/she is not walking alone (Liverpool fans can attest to this) that’s when the genius of stand up is appreciated.”

I think most Kenyan comedians are afraid to step on peoples toes and touch on real societal issues and make jokes out of them. Don’t be afraid to touch on an issue that is offensive. Make it funny and we’ll laugh but also ponder”

What do you guys think?Do you think Ronald has a point?Should Kenyan stand up comedians pull up their socks?
