Handsome comedy sensation Akuku Danger has goe through all the highs and lows of the comedy industry in Kenya and with time comes experience. His experience has taught him some important lessons along the way that he decided to impart important advise to upcoming comedians.
He advised upcoming comedians to persist and never give up. To him, the biggest problem with hopeful comedians is that they want to skip the whole process of auditioning straight to the stage. He admits that nothing is that easy and that everyone should trust the process.
He gave the example of Professor Hamo, a fellow comedian who has al also gone through a hard time to get to his celebrity status. He apparently got rejected from Churchill show for close to 2 years before getting his big break.
He encourages youth to take rejection as a stepping block to greater things. He also advises them not to focus so much on the money if one hasn’t done the work required.
He hates clubbing and loves movies and food. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and he has illustrated this. He loves samaki, chicken, rice and beans specifically. If he wasn’t already committed in a relationship, I can see many women throwing their shots and sliding in his DM. Some of the perks of celebrity life lol.
He advised hopefuls that you don’t have to be on TV to make it as a comedian in Kenya, you can also start on Social media. Social media has been a major avenue for upcoming comedians in the country the likes of Ronoh and Njugush. Check out this post for the funniest Kenyan comedians on Instagram in Kenya.
He has announced that his Youtube channel is upcoming and he promises that it’s going to have new content and something different not seen on the Kenyan platform.
