Head comedian of Chuchil show , Churchial Ndambuki has come under fire after Kenyans learnt that his fallen comedian Emmanuel Makori alias Ayeiya died single handedly poor.
Reports claim that the hard working comedian was underpaid, with other pointing out that he was paid Ksh.4000 per show.
This is baffling, because it is beleived that these comedian logically are the main characters on the show therefore they deserve a better pay.
Pictures and scenes from Ayeiya’s home of burial indicate their family led a shanty life. Ayeiya’s car which was involved in the accident that costed his life, was just a car that would not much such a celebrity. It was termed even us not roadworthy car.
The show is widely watched in Kenya and it is said to generate enough revenues that should pay all comedians good money
Here are some of the complains
Upcoming comedians go to audition for Churchill then get thrown out but their jokes get performed by someone else. Imagine that!
