Word from our performers
Am Julius Kyalo alias known as Kyalo Mwanafunzi. Am a student at KCA University pursuing my Degree in Journalism and Digital Media. Back in the year 2019 when I was a freshman at the University and a new member of the KCAU Drama Club I participated in KUPAA Drama Festivals which were held at Kilifi Count (Pwani University). I wanted to start my journey in comedy but it was so hard for me. I had gone for several auditions here in Kenya and was almost giving up when these festivals came I said let me try and compete with my fellow comrades from other universities. After a tough competition I emerged the winner of KUPAA 2019 Drama Festivals and through it I was given the platform to feature in Churchill Show Live recording which was to happen at Malindi (Alaska Ground) and on top of that I was given 50k by the Laugh industry team which helped me start a small business that time. After my first show the Churchill Show Team led by Director Victor Ber saw my passion and helped me improve my creativity and travelled with me in more than 10 shows all over Kenya. To me KUPAA connected me with the future and that is the creative industry world.
I emcee cooperate events and perform stand up comedy and earn my living from art.
I salute and appeal to All the Universities/ Colleges to join KUPAA Tupae Pamoja.
I’ll forever keep KUPAA in my heart because it helped me be who I am Today.
Thanks to KCA University and all other universities in KUPAA
