Filmmaker and actor Abel Mutua has taken the hot seat of the final episode of 'Roast House.'
This is a comedy series that features a team of comedians from Stand-Up Collective armed with brutal and hilarious roasts aimed at a different celebrity in each episode.
Previously, Roast House had been graced by celebrities like Boniface Mwangi, Sanaipei Tande, Kagwe Mungai, Nviiri The Storyteller, Nameless, Bensoul, Avril, Prezzo, P-Unit and Jua Cali.
In this episode Mutua takes the hot seat as the celebrity of the night. And the roast masters do not hold back as they touch on all aspects of his life, from his marriage to parenting skills to film making career to his famous YouTube series ‘Young and Stupid.’
Referring to Abel’s successful collaboration with comedian Njugush, comedienne Ciku Waithaka dishes;
“Tugi and Abel have a lot in common; they both rely on Njugush for their survival,” ,
“Abel quit drinking but he didn’t let that get in the way of telling incoherent stories,” George Waweru takes a swing at Abel’s script writing skills.
The actor was a writer on shows like Mother-In-Law and Machachari before co-founding his own production house, Philit Productions, with his friend and Tahidi High co-star Philip Karanja.
The duo has since churned out titles like Sue na Jonnie, Ma’Empress, A Grand Little Lie and Click Click Bang.
Unlike other celebrities who’ve been featured on Roast House, Abel is a comedian himself. “You messed with the wrong guy,” he says when given his moment on stage before dishing back, proving that he’s still one of the finest comedians in Kenya.
Roast House is co-produced by Eugene Mbugua’s D&R Studios which has produced Sol Family, Kyalo Kulture, This Love and The Real Housewives of Nairobi coming to Showmax in 2023.
