Lucy Mwende Kariuki, popularly known by her stage name, ‘Kayellow Yellow’ is the embodiment of grass to grace.
The lass, who appears in Churchill Show in her multi-coloured stage costume, accompanied by some funny makeup, reportedly used to work in Saudi Arabia as a housegirl.
The fast-rising comedienne revealed that she worked in the desert country for about three years, before discovering a career in comedy by a twist of fate.
“While I was in Saudi Arabia, I used to do short clips. I did not know that I could make people laugh. I used to do short clips via my phone and share them on the internet,” she disclosed.
She added that her fans on social media noticed her great sense of humour, through her many posts on Facebook and urged Kenya’s King of comedy, Daniel ‘Churchill’ Ndambuki, to recruit her in his comedy platform.
Mwende consequently got her breakthrough when she competed in the 'Ultimate Comic' competition run by Churchill and Maisha Magic East from late 2017 to early 2018.
“I did not believe in myself but when I came back home, I found the ‘Ultimate Comic’ competition ongoing. I joined and the rest is history,” she stated.
Even though she may be a new face to some, she is most definitely a super-talented witty personality who has been cracking Kenyans for the past few years.
Mwende joins a list of numerous comedic talents, who have risen through ashes to become household names for many Kenyans, thanks to Churchill.
Other comedians who have passed through Churchill's hands include the likes of Eric Omondi, Teacher Wanjiku, Chipukeezy, MCA Tricky and many more.
