Upon realizing his potential, they decided to officially launch his YouTube channel in January this year.
Five months in, he has wowed Kenyans with his unique sense of humour and his delivery of jokes.
With only 19 videos on YouTube, he has amassed over fourteen million views.
In one video dubbed "TT comedian meets slay queens" the minor garnered over two million views - an impressive fete that few adult comedians in Africa can match.
The skit shows him interact with elder Nairobi women and makes an attempt to advise them.
“The mother is an actress, so he grew up watching what she did. He started attending shoots at a young age which familiarized him to the industry,” explained the manager.
The child’s grasp on day to day issues has created a sense of relatability with the audience.
His videos have different settings such as going to school, conversing with his grandma, advising his parents as well as calling out his parents.
TT is enrolled in school at the PP1 level. Owing to the fact that he has to attend school, they shoot the videos over the weekend.
“In as much as he has a gift, we also want him to attend school, that is why we shoot on weekends.Our dream is to see him perform on a big stage worldwide. His gift will take him far,” commented the manager.
