Comedian Butita says his career as a comedy scriptwriter and director started at Churchill Show.
Speaking to Jalas, Butita said other comedians would ask for his advice before hitting the stage.
“The management at Churchill Show took notice and offered me a job as a creative where I would help comedians in an official capacity. That meant that sometimes I would not perform on stage.”
He said that the experience taught him that some people hate you for no reason.
“Some Kenyans would tell me that my performances were lame and compared me with other comedians. What they didn’t know was that I was writing jokes for their so-called favourite comedians,” he said.
Butita has written for Njugush, Churchill, Jalang’o, MCA Tricky, Eric Omondi, Chipukeezy, Prof Hamo and many more.
The comedian has scripted and directed the Swahili version of ‘Upshaws’, an American sitcom created by Wanda Sykes and Regina Y Hicks.
