She said her mum's strictness was a bid to make sure that Mammito and her two siblings did not end up in crime.

Mammito said her mum was hardworking. Even though she was raised by a single parent, the Churchill show comedian said she has never felt the gap of not having a father.

She said: "Mimi sijawahi jua baba yangu wala sijawahi sikia ile pengo ya kuwa sina baba mzazi. Sipendi kurudisha mama yangu nyuma kwa kumuuliza maswali hayo. Inaweza kuwa alipitia changamoto nyingi ndio maana waliachana."

This translates to:

I have never known my father and I don't feel the gap of not having him in my life. I wouldn't like to bother my mum by asking her about him. maybe they had issues and that's why they are not together.

Mammito realised her talent in comedy after several beatings from her mother. She said,

 I used to mimic THE LATE mzee Ojwang's cry every time my mother gave me a beating.

She continued:

I began my comedy career when I was 22

Mammito attended Laini Saba Primary School and later Gatero Girls High School in Nyahururu up to form three and then Silanga Mixed Secondary in Kibera where she sat her KCSE exam.

She pursued Community Development Bachelor’s Degree at Mount Kenya University.
