American stand-up comedian Dave Chappelle performed in Kenya this May, captivating a sold-out audience at the Louis Leaky Auditorium. However, Kenyan comedian, actor, scriptwriter, and entrepreneur Eddie Butita recently disclosed that he was barred from attending the event, even though he had purchased a ticket.

In a video shared by SPM Buzz, Butita stated, “You know I was banned from getting into that show. I was banned.”
He explained that he had just returned from a tour in the U.S. with President Ruto when he was contacted by the event organizers, who informed him that he would not be permitted to attend.
“I had already bought my ticket. But a day before the show, the organizers called me and said, ‘We’re sorry, but you’ve been banned from attending.’ They mentioned that comedians and anyone affiliated with the media were not allowed at the show. Maybe they thought we might copy his jokes,” Butita speculated.

Wondering why he was singled out, Butita inquired further. The organizers responded, “You’re so prominent that these guys know you. They had to go through the names one by one, and they flagged you.”
