Do you have any bad energy with Alex Muhangi after opening the “just comedy”?
Although people came up with their conclusions that I had started the show to directly compete with Alex Muhangi who also has a weekly show dubbed ‘Comedy Store’.

What do you have to say about the price tagging of musicians?
I think that is unprofessional because not start pricing someone you didn’t help start his career. You don’t know the hardship they had to overcome for the best of their life to win everything they have in life. I personally trash and don’t think they have moral authority to price any artist.
