The Roast House Comedy is back, and this time, they've got their sights set on none other than the incredibly talented, Grammy-winning songwriter himself, Bensoul! Prepare for a night of uproarious laughter as Kenya's sharpest comedic minds gather to playfully (we hope!) take down one of the country's musical gems at 'The Roast of Bensoul' on May 31st.
For those who haven't experienced the glorious chaos of a "roast," picture this: it's a comedic free-for-all where friends and comedians lovingly (mostly!) mock and tease the guest of honor in a super exaggerated and playful way. The goal? Pure entertainment, with the jokes aiming for laughs rather than genuine offense. The big question hanging in the air is: can Bensoul handle the comedic heat, or will the barrage of jokes leave him a little singed?
Roast House Comedy has carved out a unique niche in the Kenyan entertainment scene as the premier platform for celebrity roasts. They've fearlessly taken on a roster of local luminaries in the past, including the outspoken Boniface Mwangi, the soulful Sanaipei Tande, the suave Kagwe Mungai, the melodic Nviiri, the legendary Nameless, Bensoul himself (wait, he's been roasted before?!), the fierce Avril, the flamboyant Prezzo, the iconic P-Unit, the OG Jua Cali, and the storytelling master Abel Mutua.
The organizers are billing 'The Roast of Bensoul' as the "biggest Comedy Live Experience of the year," inviting everyone to join in on a night promising pure fun and the creation of "nothing but good memories!" Their announcement playfully teases the main event: "Will he survive the heat, or get flame-grilled by the baddest comedians in the game?" We're on the edge of our seats to find out!
Behind the comedic mayhem of Roast House is a powerhouse collaboration between Eugene Mbugua's D&R Studios – the creative force behind hit shows like Sol Family, Kyalo Kulture, This Love, and The Real Housewives of Nairobi – and the comedic firepower of the Stand-Up Collective. This team of laugh-smiths includes the likes of the hilarious Doug Mutai, the witty Ty Ngachira, the sharp Amandeep Jagde, and the ever-funny Justine Wanda.
The Stand-Up Collective boasts a whole lineup of comedic talent ready to bring the heat, including the brilliant Ciku Waithaka, the insightful Ruth Nyambura, the clever George Waweru, the relatable David Macharia, the engaging Maina Murumba, the observational John Ribia, the energetic Eric Lu Savali, the quick-witted Bashir Yusuf, the charming Emmanuel Kisiangani, the dry-humored Maina Munene, the smooth Stan Saleh, the unpredictable Jack Nanjero, the grounded Davy Kimanzi, and the internationally seasoned Darren Collins. With this comedic dream team, Bensoul is definitely in for a wild ride!
So, if you're ready for a night of unadulterated laughter and want to see if Bensoul can take the comedic punches, make sure you grab your tickets for 'The Roast of Bensoul' on May 31st. It's bound to be an unforgettable evening of playful jabs, hilarious observations, and the kind of good-natured ribbing that only a roast can deliver.
