Comedy Pays Dearly, Celebrated Comedian Admits

Many Kenyans tend to attach much hype and respect to some professions which they think are wealthier and well-paying than others. They look down upon some and think or tend to believe they are not as competitive as others.

Well, celebrated comedian Eric Omondi has come out strongly to defend comedy amid these ugly perceptions from a section of Kenyans.

Speaking exclusively to Ghafla Kenya, Eric has revealed that he earns big chunks of money from his engagements in comedy unlike what many Kenyans tend to think.

Eric admits that it is comedy which has made him what he is today.

“Comedy pays well, so well. I live well, I eat well and sleep well because of comedy,” Eric tells Ghafla amid a broad smile on his face.

He admits that it is through comedy that he pays his bills and meets his needs.

It is therefore a surprise that what many people look down upon is what others comfortably live on. Many comedians have grown rich before thanks to their engagements in comedy.

They are famous and wealthy thanks to comedy. The likes of Nyambane and Churchill are a living testimony.
