He posted on Twitter, "Saaasaa, lawyer wa team mafisi amegraduate officially kutoka analogue ameenda digital."

Family

Keziah Mwendwa Akala and Emanuella Khalumba Akala, the couple's two adorable children, are raised by their funny comedian father, who is happily married to Mercy Warima Kagiri. He clearly prefers to keep them hidden from view. The comedian says the following about his family in an exclusive interview that was published by mpasho on December 1st, 2017.

Background

The father of two is originally from Western Kenya but spent some time in Kibera, Nairobi. Even as a child, the comedian had a talent for making others laugh.

In order to survive, Smart Joker worked odd jobs like cleaning sewage pipes and labouring on building sites. During auditions for the Churchill performance at the Carnivore grounds, a fellow comedian named Nick D (Nicodemus Odhiambo) persuaded him to give it a shot while performing a traditional dance at a Kibera-based NGO called Shinning Hope For Communities (SHOFCO).

, he was persuaded to give it a shot during Churchill show tryouts at the Carnivore grounds by a fellow comic named Nick D (Nicodemus Odhiambo).

The comedian was not even a fan of comedy shows at the time. He was actually only aware of Eric Omondi because other people frequently mentioned him. They nonetheless attended the auditions and were both hired. His rise to prominence had begun with this.

Career

A few days after tryouts, the ever-jovial man began appearing on the Churchill program, something he never would have dreamed would happen. The audience admired him and his fictional companion "Shimonjero." He would regale the audience with humorous anecdotes that made them laugh. He was instructing the companion on how to transition during his third performance, which

digital to analogue. He even went so far as to create a song on the subject and obtained support from CCCK for the switch from analogue to digital. Since then, the comedian has only occasionally taken a vacation from work on the Churchill program.

The hardest part of telling a joke is seeing the audience not laugh. He recalls one instance in which he was called to perform at a gig where he was paid kes95,000 and the audience didn't find his act humorous in an interview with Milele FM. He claims that the reason was that the audience was inebriated, not because he wasn't humorous.
