Teacher Wanjiku is a character created and played by comedian Caroline Wanjiku. For a long time, comedy in Kenya was a men's affair. Wanjiku boarded the train and changed that scenario. When the comedy history books are written, she will come down as a leader in the comedy field who has opened many female roles in the country. The character of "Master Wanjiku" has become larger than life. In her element, she dresses up as a clown; big glasses, polka dot clothes with language strongly influenced by mother tongue. People couldn't help but fall in love with the character from the very beginning. Each part is different and unique from the rest. The highlight of her career was when the President called her to perform at the "Kenya at 50" ceremony. The reaction of the crowd when called upon to perform was heartwarming.
Comedy
Most people believe she began her career in comedy at Churchill, but this is not the truth. The character first appeared in a heartfelt play called 43rd Kenyan tribe in 2007. She received such encouraging and good feedback that she moved on to work on more plays, including set book plays.
Her biggest comedic career break occurred when she debuted on Kenya's most popular comedy show, Churchill. Her act attracted Kenyan viewers, and her video acquired over 200k views in a short period of time.
Family
Wanjiku, the teacher, was born into a household of six.
Her manager, Victor Ber, is also her husband. They married in a private ceremony at St. Paul's Catholic Church on University Way in 2014. Top Kenyan comedians such as Churchill and Karis were among those invited.
Caroline Wanjiku is the mother of two wonderful children.
