The minute a comedian starts earning some good money, they attract a certain circle of friends. Some good, others not so good.

Remember, a stand-up comedian of this kind, is not guaranteed a monthly salary, so when you spend all you have today, tomorrow you might have to live without.

“One of the biggest challenge in the entertainment industry is the social media. So you have a big name, have a big following and you have to impress people every single day. In order to remain relevant. But sometimes, it gets out of hand,” Churchill admitted.

However, the Churchill Show founder, believes he gave the deceased a golden platform to grow his brand which he at times took with a lot of seriousness.

It is sad that majority of people who shared this journey of life with the late comedian, admitted he was very stubborn. One with bad drinking habits that might have cost him his life.

Have a listen; but may his soul rest in eternal peace.

Comedian Kasee did his job well and after accomplishing his mission in life; the young father, friend and husband was finally laid to rest this past weekend, Saturday, 4 July.

His funeral went down at his rural home in Matuu, Machakos county at a village called, Itumunduni. Among those who attended his funeral are his former colleagues; MC Allandoz aka Brayo, the Mchungaji – Mtumishi duo and boss Churchill aka Daniel Ndambuki.

As seen on the photos below, it’s evident that Kasee’s death left his family, friends and villagers in tears and denial since he was still quite young.

Also, never has it ever been easy for a parent to bury their own child – hence the tears and grief in his home!

Photos from the burial

There are a few photos from his burial making rounds on social media; however the Churchill show management seems to prefer keeping them off their social media pages.

So far very few have emerged showing how the funeral went down in Matuu; but unlike Njenga Mswahili’s funeral, it appears Kasee’s send off was more private due to the ongoing pandemic around the world.

As seen on the photos all the guests were required to show up in masks; and indeed they did. The photos also show some social distancing for safety purposes despite having all met to mourn the loss of a loved one.

Revelation

So now, Jalang’o decided to bite the bullet and spill the beans on what has been ailing the local comedy scene, that has cost the industry major loss of its creatives.

He emotionally started off:

It is sad that in the past few Months we have lost several artists in my industry…ART! This Saturday we lay to rest Kasee of Churchill show…May God rest your soul in Peace… Where do I even begin with this message?

Before calling out fans who put pressure on these comedians to lead a lifestyle that they cannot afford and one that is just not the reality.

My message goes to the fans! When you see us on TV doesn’t mean we are rich! We are just normal Kenyans who are known or famous so dont judge or set standards for us! You will kill us!!

Explaining:

How? You meet a fan in a kibanda and their first question is..Jalas, Tricky, Sleepy wewe pia ukula hapa? You meet me in a mat and all you ask is why Mamito ako kwa mat!

Unknown to many, this usually forces certain standards among comedians, who eventually sink into depression and eventually death.

So what sinks in me is that Iam a superstar and I should not be in a mat yet thats what I can afford! So I lock myself in my house until I can afford an ubber. Or afford to eat at Miale that’s when I come out! All this time I sit in my house drinking my sorrows away hoping I get the money everybody thinks I have..I will be in my sorrows that will sink me into depression…when I die all you say is type on my page RIP! ????????????????

Attesting:

Just like you did in Kasee page not knowing that maybe it’s you who killed him by trying to set for him standards that he could not meet ! You tweeted or posted how he was not funny!
