Kenyan comedy has received a new touch with introduction of Crazy Monday, Laugh Out Loudest (LOL), and Hot Seat. There has been other comedy shows like Redykyulass, which was one of the funniest comedy show in Kenya andChurchill Live where Dan Ndambuki aka Churchill is viewed as King of comedy in Kenya today.
Even with Churchill Live getting back on air by next month on NTV, there is an emergent of new talent in comedy with the Crazy Monday brought by Kenya Kona Group and LOL that is a product from Protel Studios. Crazy Monday is hosted every first Monday of the month at Hilton and is a real family comedy show that has a lot of following. The first episode was charged at Ksh 500/- and Ksh 1000/- for VIP but the last one was raised to Ksh600/-. Crazy Monday might start being hosted on KTN very soon.
Laugh Out Loudest (LOL) is also another comedy that is giving Kenyan comedians a platform to display their talent. LOL is hosted at Kenya National Theatre and aired on K24 TV and has free entry.
Some of the comedians in Crazy Monday and LOL include, Zuleka, Oyoo, Ole Masikio, Ole matope, Ogutu, Dr. Ofueneke, Othuol Othuol, MC KJ, Mbithe, Proff, Abel Mutua, Wandindi, Hila the Dentist, Njoro, Khalid, Senior the Puppet among others

Could you be that special local talent that the industry has been turning down? Well one does not need to be a rocket scientist to get this research done. The Kenyan entertainment industry would be said to be coming up but  not the way it is supposed to. This can be disputed especially by those who belong to the “qualified league” but I am well aware where I am putting my fingers. So sad but very true, the industry has been for the “who is who” and those directly connected with the “who is who”. Our research tends to bend more on the local soap operas and movies.
We all agree that some of the characters in those soaps have no idea what acting is. Some of them are very down such that it is so obvious they are acting. We have all seen these people call for auditions but all they do is turn away deserving talents and pick even worse than they already had. In as much as these people look for beauty, this just spoils the collection if no traces of talent can be spotted. For those who watch NTV, Mali is a good programme but so much is wrong. Names of a few actors without talent will be spared for today. Everybody would keep watching the program because good talents like Usha exists. If you are one of these special talents out there, then let us join hands and carry this campaign forward. The industry is ours and we should not let it collapse as we watch. We can always do something. Yes, we can.

Mwanamuziki wa Nigeria D’Banj aka Koko Master anasemekana kuwa sasa ndiye rais wa Def Jam Africa. Muimbaji huyo wa Oliver Twist anasemekana kuwa muda mfupi baada ya kusaini mkataba huo mnono naye fasta amemsainisha msanii anayechipukia Davido kwenye record label hiyo. Davido ataungana na ndugu yake D'Banj K-Switch kwenye label ya Def Jam Africa. Hata hivyo haijafahamika ni vipi msanii huyo atajigawa na deal ya Mercury Records ya Uingereza na G.O.O.D Music aliyopo chini yake. Katika hali inayoonesha mambo kuendelea kumnyookea msanii huyo ambaye jina lake halisi ni Dapo Oyebanjo, jumapili hii pia aliweka historia nyingine baada ya remix ya wimbo wake Oliver Twist kukamata nafasi ya tisa katika chart ya Uingereza. Def Jam Records inayomilikuwa na Universal Music Group, na kufanya kazi kama sehemu ya The Island Def Jam Music Group ni record label ya Marekani ambayo imejikita katika muziki hip hop na muziki wa mjini. Wakati wa uongozi wa Jay Z, Def Jam ilifanikisha kuwatoa wasanii kama Rihanna, Ne-Yo, na Kanye West.
