August is already shaping up to be an incredible month for stand-up comedy in Kenya. We’ve got the Nairobi International Comedy Festival coming up from the 12th to the 17th, Maina Munene is bringing his African Dream Tour to Alliance Française on the 9th, TY Gachira is recording his special, Millennials in Denial on the 10th, and David Machira and The People Agreed to Do This is up on the 9th as well. But before all that, July 31st gave us something else, The Roast of Kamene Goro.
I’ve always enjoyed roasts. There’s something brilliant about watching personalities’ egos torn to shreds by seasoned comedians. It takes guts, and it works best when it’s equal parts brutal and hilarious.
