Watu hutoka mbali na wanaenda mbali.

Comedianne Jemutai has given us a glimpse into her life, back when she was just a raia like the rest of us.

The stand up star known for her Kalenjim character has shared a photo before the fame.

This is from back when no one knew who Jemutai was and if she would ever be a comic sensation with serious brand endorsements to her name.

No one knew that her signature phrase "Chibambe" would be all the rage.

In a past interview, Jemutai reveals that the road to getting to where she is was not easy.

"I auditioned for 10 months straight without success. The team of creatives would keep advising me to create a character so every Tuesday my mom would religiously give me fare to travel all the way from Embakasi to Langata to try my luck."

She continued, "Unlike many other jobs where your connections land you a job, in comedy your punch lines are your one way ticket to audience, something I think my mother understood so she never complained about how long I was taking to make it."

And as they say, the rest is history.

Here is a photo she shared.

Lets now take a look at where Jemutai came from by gazing upon her other throw back photos.
