Churchill Show comedian MC Jessy, who has been in the laugh industry for over a decade, has described Comedian Daniel "Churchill" Ndambuki as the industry's messiah.

Speaking in Meru during the launch of Coca Cola Bila Sukari products over the weekend, he said, "He is the messiah of comedy for us. He is the one who got us from Egypt and we are on a journey.

"We are yet to get to Canaan, but maybe God will send a Joshua, maybe me, MCA Tricky, Professor Harmo or anyone of us will be the Joshua to take us to Canaan. That's the respect and honour I have for my brother Churchill and I love him so much."

He went on to praise Ndambuki and shut down rumours that some comedians are underpaid.

"This guy has done tremendously well, I thank God for him every day. For 10 years, I have never stayed a week without work. I don't need to go to Churchill to pay me and I forget sometimes about my salary because I will be paid in my other jobs because they first saw me at Churchill Show," he said.

"Many radio stations have auditioned our comedians to take up art in their companies. These are the opportunities that are available and it's not about money. "
