The Roast of Willy Paul: The second edition was nothing short of epic, with Prof. Hamo, Nick Kwach, Maina Munene, Bashir Halaiki, Ty Ngachira, and Jack Nanjero stepping up to serve the heat. Let’s just say Willy Paul didn’t know what hit him!
The Roast of Terence Creative: The most recent roast saw Terence take the hot seat as Ty Ngachira, Oluoch Kariuki, Ruth Nyambura, George Waweru, Marcus Douglas, and Bashir Halaiki lit up the stage. But true to The Hot Seat tradition, Terence got the chance to roast the comedians right back and get his last laugh.
No One is Safe!
On the Hot Seat, not even the audience is spared! The comedians have been known to throw a few ‘stray’ jabs, making the night even more unpredictable and hilariously entertaining.
