Kenyan comedian Gilbert Wanyonyi, known as Mtumishi, recently opened up about his career following the separation from his comedy partner, Mchungaji. Their successful collaboration on the “Churchill Show” made them audience favorites, but individual aspirations led them to pursue solo paths.
In an interview, Mtumishi highlighted the importance of personal growth and artistic evolution.
“Growth comes and you have to accept growth, years come and my race is not his and his is not mine but if you need the two of us you can have the two of us,” Mtumishi explained, highlighting the amicable nature of their separation.
He expressed respect for their amicable separation and excitement for his journey ahead. Now hosting “The Amazing Show,” he aims to nurture new talent.
The two entertained netizens in the country with their creative and hilarious skits for years.
Way back in 2020, Mtumishi opened up about his past criminal life. Speaking during a TV interview, the outspoken comedian stated that he was recruited into a criminal gang when he dropped out of high school over lack of fees.
“They said I either had to join the gang or die. We started carjacking vehicles in Nairobi. We would be given intelligence about certain cars or targets and we would execute the orders,” he revealed.
