Nice Githinji to Host Africa’s First High School Stand-up Comedy Show

Last time Nice Githinji was in the news it was about her successful weight loss attempt. Now, she is the host of what is being described as Africa’s first stand up comedy show for high school students.

The award winning actress told actors.co.ke on her new NTV gig as the host of Breaktime, “It’s a stand-up family comedy show for high schools. The first ever in Africa actually. We go around schools, get some of their best comedians to show case their talent and the school picks the winner.”

She adds, “The main aim of Breaktime show is to show students that the only difference between them and any other successful persons in the society is not the school they went to or how successful their parents are but how determined they are to make something out of themselves.”

She further explains how the show will work: “To prove this point, every week we bring an alumni of the school we’re in and do a short interview. We’ve had the likes of Ekko Dydda and Gidi Gidi as guests. Plus, at the end of this term, we’ll pick all the winners and do a zonal competition awarding overall winners with scholarships and mentoring programmes among other things.”
