“Since I joined the comedy industry, comedy performances have been part of my life whereby I found myself bringing serious comedy topics and suggestions that would make people laugh and enjoy.

He said currently, he is eyeing to do collaborations with international comedians such as, Teacher Mpamire and Kansiime from Uganda as well as Mr. Macaroni from Nigeria.

In a separate interview, one of the country’s comedy legends, Eric Mabedi who is known as Jakobo in a comedy duo, Izeki ndi Jakobo commended the youth like Che Mandota for their enthusiasm in comedy production saying that there is need for new breed of comedians in the country.

“As longtime comedians, we are happy to see many youth in the country developing interest in comedy production and this is welcome gesture as a lot of comedy legends are getting old hence there is need of new breed of comedians,” Mabedi said.

However, he advised the up-and-coming comedians in the country to be more creative in order for them to be recognised on both local and international comedy scene.
