You Won’t Believe What Jalang’o Would Ask For If He Got Stuck In A Desert Island
For a man who comedy is his fulltime job, you wouldn’t be able to tell whether he’s pulling your leg or saying the truth when you have a word with him. But one thing is for sure; Jalang’o is one of the most sought after comedians in the country.
He recently had a chat with Cheka Times crew where he revealed some beguiling details about himself. Here’s an excerpt of that;
CT: What would you be doing if you weren’t a comedian?
J: If I wasn’t a comedian I would be a comedian that I am right now. For me it’s either comedy or comedy, though I still have this desire to fly a plane and that’s why sometimes I just go to JKIA and watch planes take off and land as if am from ushago.
CT: Tell me how comedy started for you.
J: I was born a comedian so for me it started when I was very young. First show was when I played a doctor in Nursery school then another memorable moment was when I played Judas in a church play when I was in standard 4.
CT: Were you always funny?
J: Everyone always told me am funny especially my mother and for her no one disputes her as she has always been right. I can even quote my mum on this, “A Naked Man Doesn’t Fear a Pick Pocket”.
CT: Most embarrassing moment
J: It was when I was playing a role whereby I was supposed to cry and I ended up laughing instead as I can only act happy roles. This made me the worst actor at the Drama Festival as it was clear I wasn’t the best and ever since I ended up carrying an onion in my pocket to assist in playing any sad roles.
CT: What song would you have played at your funeral and why?
J: Definitely Katumbo Dance as it’s my song and why use someone else’s song?
CT: If you could take three things to a desert island what would they be and why?
J: I would take my iPad to check mail and to tell people am stuck to bring me water and 3 underwears as would want to remain clean.
CT: Favorite one-liner joker
J: If you can’t beat them, arrange to have them beaten.
CT: If you knew today was your last day on earth, how would you spend it?
J: I think I would spend my whole day at Kosewe eating fish until Jesus comes for me and still would request him to allow me to carry one piece to heaven.
There you have it!
