Satire Meets Culture On New Comedy Series ‘A Very Kenyan Sketch Show’

Nearly 20 years after high school, Erick Muriuki and Doug Mutai have teamed up to create A Very Kenyan Sketch Show, a witty and innovative take on Kenyan life.

The series uses sharp cinematography and sketch comedy to explore the humor in everyday situations, highlighting the quirks and absurdities of local culture.

The cast features rising stars Morris Mwangi (Faithless), Faiz Ouma (Untying Kantai), and Sanchez Marley (Nairobby), alongside guest appearances from Eddie Butita, Marya Okoth, TikTok dancer Collo Blue, and Instagram personality Sisinei Parmeres.

Co-produced by Stand-up Collective and Tribesman Pictures, the show premiered on January 4th at the Nairobi Laugh Bar to rave reviews. Audiences praised its clever humor and high production quality, a sentiment echoed globally after its YouTube debut on January 6th.

Muriuki, a filmmaker behind hits like A Nurse Toto, brought his expertise to the project, while Mutai added his comedic flair. “We wanted to celebrate Kenyan culture by poking fun at its quirks,” said Muriuki. Mutai added, “It’s all about taking ordinary moments and turning them into comedic gold.”

A Very Kenyan Sketch Show is a refreshing celebration of Kenyan humor and creativity, promising to set a new standard for local entertainment.
