Roast House, a comedy TV show has finally come to an end. The comedy show, which premiered in July 2022, features a team of comedians from Stand-Up Collective armed with brutal and hilarious roasts aimed at a different celebrity in each episode.
We have already seen the roasts of Boniface Mwangi, Sanaipei Tande, Kagwe Mungai, Nviiri, Nameless, Bensoul, Avril, Prezzo, P-Unit and Jua Cali.
In the tenth and final episode, filmmaker and actor Abel 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 his film-making career to his famous YouTube series ‘Young and Stupid.’
"Tugi and Abel have a lot in common; they both rely on Njugush for their survival," Comedian Ciku Waithaka dishes, referring to Abel’s successful collaboration with comedian Njugush.
"Abel quit drinking but he didn’t let that get in the way of telling incoherent stories," George Waweru took 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, Philitv 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.
Recorded live at Number 7 Club on Koinange Street, Nairobi, Roast House is co-produced by Eugene Mbugua’s D&R Studios and Stand-Up Collective’s team of comedians that includes Doug Mutai; Ty Ngachira, host of NTV’s primetime show Too Much Information with Ty Ngachira; Amandeep Jagde, and Justine Wanda.
Other comedians from Stand-Up Collective include Ciku Waithaka, Ruth Nyambura, George Waweru, David Macharia, Maina Murumba, John Ribia, Eric Lu Savali, Bashir Yusuf, Emmanuel Kisiangani, Maina Munene, Stan Saleh, Jack Nanjero, Davy Kimanzi and Darren Collins.
All the 10 episodes are now available on Showmax.
