Kenyan comedians Eric Omondi and Vinie Chipukeezy were nominated for the African Entertainment Awards USA (AEUSA).
The two are set to compete against each other and other comedians from Africa in the Best Africa's Comedian Category.
The two best friends started their careers at the popular Churchill Show and have both established themselves in the comedy industry.
The title will be determined by who gets the most votes among all the nominees.
Omondi who creates his own content, established himself on the international platform through various events and funny stunts abroad.
The most recent of his stunts was a case where he dressed up as a witch doctor in the United States and fooled some of the residents of New York city.
"So I went to New York City disguised as an African Traditional Medicine man (Witch Doctor) even ran a 20 minutes Ad on the Digital Billboards… A few minutes after set up… business was booming," read the caption on Omondi's video.
Chipukeezy on the other hand ventured further into media and started his own show at Ebru TV.
The former Kiss 100 radio host , has also worked as an MC at events with the most recent being the Maisha ni Mpesa tu promotion by Safaricom.
