The Kenyan screen is sprinkled with various programmes like advertisements, news, movies and comedy shows which often attract varied degrees of devotees (Ogola, 2011). Opinionated information often jets in as the performer sustains the audience through genre power. screen comedy works its complex and often subversive processes, revealing and commenting on the preoccupations, prejudices, and dreams of societies that produce it. Contemporary comedy show in the country is apparently engrossed in tribal jibes and prejudices.
