Roast House
The first of its kind in Kenya, Roast House, is a 10-part stand-up comedy show that features a team of comedians armed with brutal and hilarious roasts aimed at a celebrity in the hot seat.
From activist Boniface Mwangi (Softie) to singer-actress Sainapei Tande (Kina), to politician, media personality and comedian Jalang’o, to Soul Generation artists Nviiri the Storyteller and Bensoul, to rapper Prezzo, to hip hop group P-Unit, to Kagwe Mungai and Avril, no one is safe here.
Recorded live at Number 7 Club on Koinange Street, Nairobi, Roast House is co-produced by Eugene Mbugua’s D&R Studios (also behind other Showmax shows like Kyallo Kulture, Sol Family and This Love) and Standup Collective’s team of comedians led by co-founder Doug Mutai.
Doug is among the 17 comedians taking the stage as roastmasters with every episode of Roast House. Others include Ty Ngachira, host of NTV’s primetime show Too Much Information with Ty Ngachira, Amandeep Jagde, Justine Wanda, Ruth Nyambura, George Waweru, David Macharia, Maina Murumba, John Ribia, Eric Lu Savali, Bashir Yusuf, Emmanuel Kisiangani, Maina Munene, Stan Saleh, Jack Nanjero, Davy Kimanzi and Darren Collins.
