On June 1, 2022, comedian Eric Omondi made history by hosting a show in Egypt, a first for any African comedian. The show was a huge success, and he has announced plans to host another show in Egypt on September 7, 2022.
According to Omondi, the show was historic because it was the first time an African comedian had performed in Egypt. He expressed his gratitude to the Kenyans living in Egypt for their love and support, saying that he had never experienced such a warm welcome before.
However, Omondi revealed that he did not publicize the show as much as he should have, citing a lack of a big hall to accommodate all the Kenyans living in Egypt. He promised to do better with the upcoming show, which will be held in a bigger hall.
“People really complained in Egypt because when I arrived in Egypt people did not know and only noticed after the show. Hatukuipublicize sana but now we want to publicize hii ya September because we are going to get a bigger hall and we are doing it bigger. I agree we did not publicize it so much as we should have done it,” Omondi said.
“Egypt was amazing, it was historic because hakuna msani wa Africa ashawahi fanya show in Egypt, no Nigerian, no Tanzanian and any other country. Nobody has ever done a show in Egypt and to me it was such an honor. It was a big and successful show and we are going to have another show on 7th September due to public demand and others could not make it. It was a one man show, comedy and party,” he added.
