• But other Kenyans disagreed and said that the man was just hating on Njugush.

Blessed Njugush has been touring out of the country as the highly successful comedian performed for Kenyans in the diaspora.

This past week, the father of 5 was in Australia where he aimed to leave Kenyans abroad in stitches.

Unfortunately, there are some complaints from down under with one particular Kenyan complaining that his Through Thick and Thin 4 show left much to be desired.

These sentiments were shared by a Kenyan Twitter user called Gustavo 254 who started off by saying,

"My pal njugush is struggling hadi ameanza kuita Kina Butita comedy hall imetulia kaa lecture hall."

He went on to add in another post,

"Nikama njugush aliconfuse mchongoano na comedy Bana hadi sahii sijasmile Bana na $30 imeenda."

And another;

"Njugush next time kindly please specify if it’s mchongoano Unatuletea ama ni comedy ndio tujue kitu tunalipia sio kushtuliwa tu fwaa na matusi za primary."

Some Kenyans agreed with his sentiments and lampooned comedians from the East African nation, opining that we never produce great stand-up comedians.

Others defended him and stated that it was part of the process as a comedian to struggle with new crowds.

Check out some of the comments below;

Khotsa James Kenya hakuna mtu anaeza fanya stand up for 15 minutes hata .That’s why comedians wakenya Churchill wanakuwanga na ngoma ya intro 5 minutes befor a 1 minute 10 seconds performance ya mchongoano.

Hellen Mwaniki If you have lived , you know this part of the process is truly as important as any other. If they dont criticize you , you are doing nothing. Well done @BlessedNjugush #njugush

Either way, Njugush is still one of the best comedians Kenya has ever produced. I'm sure he will learn what he needs to from this experience and come back bigger and better.
