Comedian Professor Hamo Shares the Truth About Earning Money in Comedy

Renowned comedian Professor Hamo, famous for his role on the *Churchill Show*, has shared insights into the financial realities of a comedy career.

In an interview with *Nairobi News*, Hamo discussed both the rewards and challenges of the industry. Despite its hurdles, he affirmed that comedy can be financially fulfilling. “I would have quit if it didn’t pay well. Comedy offers good income, which is why so many people try it,” he explained.

However, he clarified that unlike traditional businesses where large investments can secure returns, success in comedy depends on talent, persistence, and financial discipline. “In Kenya, some start businesses with billions without knowing how to make them profitable. Comedy isn’t about the billions; it’s about talent, consistency, and smart saving,” he noted.

For Hamo, comedy is also a spiritual journey. “Backstage, I have my own space. I don’t do pre-show interviews; that’s my time with God, where I listen, reflect, and adjust my performance. I believe people witness God’s grace through my work on stage,” he shared.

Hamo attributes his success to his dedication to storytelling and the discipline he brings to his craft. “My work is to wake up, write stories from my heart and mind, and perform. I have to think as different people in various situations,” he said.

Prof Hamo has responded to a question about him traveling to the UK alongside his baby mama Jemutai. In an interview with Faydee Media, he was asked if he was aware he was traveling with Jemutai. He replied that she is not his wife but a mother, and that he is not going to work with her. He also said that everyone will sit on their own seat while flying.

Five Churchill Show comedians will be sharing a stage at the Kenyan Comedy Show event in London, and Khaligraph Jones is set to perform too. Hamo and Jemutai met on Churchill Show in 2015, and shortly after they started dating, the comedienne got pregnant. This is where their troubles began. In a previous interview, Jemutai revealed that she turned down a job worth KSh 5 million to protect Hamo’s image because she was carrying his first child.

The two have had a tumultuous relationship, and this latest incident is just another example of their strained ties. It remains to be seen how they will interact during the upcoming comedy show.

“Hii yetu ni fuliza” Jemutai opens up about her marriage with Prof Hamo

Comedian Jemutai left many of her fans feeling like clowns; days after they advised her to move on from Prof Hamo; who she had exposed as a dead beat dad to her two kids.

The exposè done on Obare’s page attracted both positive and negative comments from fans; who for some reason ended up disliking Prof Hamo for letting down Jemutai – who by the way looks like a humble and homely woman.

But thanks to the expose, Prof Hamo was able to see his mistakes; and ofcourse he made things right with his second wife and kids. Seeing how determined he was, Jemutai says they sat down and ironed their issues; a move that made her give another chance.

Jemutai explains why she forgave hubby

As you all know, there is no relationship that runs smoothly, unless it’s fake; and having seen both their mistakes – Jemutai says she opted for a second chance for the sake of their young family.

Speaking about this, the lady said;

Jemutai with her kids

  I realized tulikuwa na mistakes sisi wote wawili, juu ilifika mahali communication yetu ikakuwa mbaya and it led to to vitu zote zilitokea. Juu sisi wote tulikuwa na mistake. Yes, I forgave him, juu hata yeye alini-forgive

Legally married?

Well now that Jemutai considers herself as a second wife, curious fans who keep up with their vblog “Raw and Candid with Jemutai + Prof Hamo” went on to ask whether they are legally/traditionally married to which Jemutai said;

Legally no, we are not married legally because we have not done all those processes, and we can’t get married na ile ya white wedding. So we are living on fuliza.

 

“I hope one day you will understand and forgive me” Prof Hamo’s future message to his innocent kids

Comedian Hamo must have finally come to his senses after the DNA test revealed that he was indeed the father of Jemutai’s two kids. For some reason, we understand that he may have had his doubts about the kids – but hii ni Nairobi; but at the same time – wasn’t it obvious that the kids took after his forehead and facial expressions?

Anyway his doubts pushed him to a point of neglecting the handsome baby boy (photocopy) and his adorable baby girl that we cannot seem to get over. According to Jemutai, the last visit saw Hamo show up with two Oreos…oh boy and this was around 2AM in the morning.

Well any mum in Jemutai’s shoes would have done the same exact thing; but the good thing is that she maintained her anger and chose to focus on her babies – and look things are now working out in her favor.

This is because they will one day learn about their dad’s mistake; and having caused so much pain in both their lives and there mum’s the professa apologized by saying;

To my young ones, life is not an easy road, papa is  very sorry & he hopes one day when you are old enough to understand you will forgive him. Nawapenda wote & I will always be here for you ????.

Well – let’s hope he steps up his game from now on!

“He asked for a DNA test” Jemutai reveals after exposing Prof Hamo as a deadbeat dad

Jemutai must be having a hard time dealing with her baby daddy, Prof Hamo who she claims is a dead beat dad; and what’s even worse is that he recently asked for a DNA test to confirm that the children he is said to have sired with the lady is actually his. Wow.

This comes shortly after the two went on to air their diary laundry in public; giving ruthless fans a reason to dig into their private life.

But hey, it happens especially in bitter breakups; but like Churchill said – and the end of the day the kids have to win!

Well, thanks to Edgar Obare we understand that Hamo and his ex, Jemutai were able to sit down and have a conversation like two reasoning adults; for the sake of the young boy and baby girl involved.

Update

As much as we would want to stay away from this family drama; it keeps pulling us back with the small small details shared by both parties.

Just a few days after the two decided to resolve this matter in private; Jemutai goes ahead and reveals that Hamo is now asking for DNA test something that has left most fans pissed off; and others asking questions.
