Comedian Zeddy Exposes Churchill Show's Victor Ber ¶
Comedian Zeddy has taken to social media to expose Churchill Show's creative director Victor Ber, accusing him of being heartless and responsible for the depression and death of several comedians.
According to Zeddy, Victor Ber is responsible for the poor treatment of comedians on the show, including denying them opportunities to perform and causing them undue stress.
‘Victor Ber is a depression maker. He is heartless, roho chafu kuliko ya Firaun (Pharaoh). He will discourage you and make you feel like you are worthless. He will make you feel like you are nothing without him,' Zeddy wrote in a post.
Also read: Videos of comedians Chipukeezy and Njoro talking about how Victor Ber frustrated them during past interviews have resurfaced.
Chipukeezy narrates how Ber discouraged him during an audition at Churchill Show. ‘Victor Ber, the reason why I mention Victor is because I will never forget him. So I tell them, Churchill ameniambia I am the future and I need to audition. So they tell me to tell a joke….then after that Victor Ber laughed and was like “kijana ukona talent ingine kama mbio kumbia, boxing….comedy wacha!”
Njoro on the other hand said Ber laughed at his jokes while on stage but later shut him down after his performance. ‘Nilipata jamaa anaitwa Victor Ber, he was the creative director. Nikapiga jokes zangu hapo thinking i am very funny. The funniest man in this planet, the guy was laughing, nikasema ahhh sasa mimi ndio the next…hamnijui,’ he said in a previous interview.
Adding, ‘Akaniangalia akaniambia Kijana unafanya nini na maisha yako…nikamwambia nafanya journalism..akaniambia niende nyumbani niendelee na journalism, comedy ikona wenyewe.'
