“Churchill never paid me” Eric Omondi opens up

Eric Omondi is among the first pioneers of the famous Kenyan comedy show ‘Churchill show’ created by one Daniel Ndambuki. Being the first comedy show in Kenya, we believe that Churchill opened doors of opportunity to young talents like; Eric Omondi who continue to shine in the entertainment industry.

Having made a name for himself and a well paying career – comedian Eric Omondi recently held a candid interview with one Massawe Jappani where he opened up about his journey in the entertainment industry.

For those who did not know, Eric says he chose to build himself through Churchill show; as he had already seen the kind of vision Daniel Ndambuki had in his mind.

Churchill was the number-one show watched in Kenya, and so I used that platform to create my name.

About payments

Unlike other comedians who continue to complain about payments from Churchill; Eric says that he never received a cent from the owner of the show, Churchill show.

However, this does not mean that he was struggling, no. In fact Eric says that he chose to use this opportunity to his advantage; and in no time he was driving in millions through adverts given to him thanks to his well built brand.

Churchill has never paid me any coin. For three seasons and I did not want the money, but by the time I was finishing the first season, I was already making millions. I got adverts and earned from that.

To comedians complaining about payments, Eric Omondi advised them saying;

I could not be known if he did not give me the platform to sell my name. He sold my name and it is very unfair when I see comedians saying they are being used by Churchill. You are not being used, they are using Churchill
