"36 comedians are going to step up on the stage. May be not all will end up doing professional comedy but out of the 36 I'm very sure 5 of them will make it in the industry and that is a very big addition in the industry," Churchill told Word Is.
"What I can tell the up coming comedians is that they are the future and it takes time. It has taken me 15 years to be here and they don't have to take that long. They just need to understand the direction they want to take and focus on it. Follow your heart and your passion if have it you have it-it is what it is."
Churchill has mentored most of the Kenyan comedians, he says his joy is seeing each one of them curve their own niche in the industry.
"I feel like a headmaster to the comedians I have mentored. The dream of every teacher is to see all of you end up doing something good for your careers. There is no teacher who wishes for students to become sub-ordinate members of staff, one who winds up slashing grass in a school you went to, no teacher will want that," Churchill said.
"Comedy is a serious business, if you don't laugh that means you have more problems than we can make you laugh. So just appreciate, support us, pay don't ask for complimentary tickets, we need that money so that you don't say we are broke. Parents If you have a talented kid encourage them you never know. It is a new market and I am sure the future is content and once the content is put on a digital platform and on your phones I think in 2 to 3 years we shall be talking of a different story."He concluded.
