Timothy Kimani Ndegwa, better known as Njugush, is one of the most sought-after comedians not just in Kenya but the whole region.

Most people first came to know him after he featured on The Real Househelps of Kawangware (TRHK), however, he later exited the show to pursue personal interests.
In hindsight, that was a brave move because he has really grown online since he stopped appearing on our screen so much so that NTV had to look for him and ask him to create content for them.
Other than the fact that he is really funny, there’s something about how he carries himself that many are yet to understand. His peers wonder how he’s able to land many mega deals.
However, what they do not know is that he has a serious manager who helps him make serious business decisions and that is none other than Celestine Ndinda, his wife.
Other than than, Njugush has been very consistent over the years unlike many local comics who take a break when they get some little money in their pockets.
The truth is that not everyone will like your product and that is why Njugush has solidified his fan base over the years so much so that if you hate on his comedy one of his fans will attack you.
The other thing is that his approach to comedy has really evolved over the years. If he was making the same jokes that he used to make when we first knew him, he would have lost most of us along the way.
I think there is so much that comedians who are trying to get their names out there can learn from this chap and all it takes is to observe how he carries himself.
