Its not a laughing matter anymore,Churchill is accused of paying his comedians peanuts and a result there is a mass exodus of artists who are now preferring to go for Kenya Kona the beast next door who are paying much more than the flashy Churchill show/raw. An reliable source at the midst of this reveals to NE,”KTN’s Kenya Kona is planning to strengthen itself by acquiring underpaid comedians from the Churchill Raw. Malboro has already crossed to Kenya Kona. A Kenya Kona artist earns almost 3 times better than a Churchill Raw artist. For every stage performance, a Churchill Raw artiste earns 1000 and a further 5000, if their act is aired on NTV. On the other hand, Kenya Kona artiste is paid 8,000 for every stage performance and 12,000 when their act is aired on KTN. All Kenya Kona artists perform twice a month and are assured of having their acts aired at least twice a month. Churchill is paid a total of 1.4 million weekly by NTV for both Churchill Raw and Churchill Show as opposed to the 500,000 that Kenya Kona gets from KTN weekly.”
Its now emerging that Every weekly live recording of Churchill show brings in at least 500,000 in gate collections translating to 2 million a month with 125k going to the carnivore restaurant per week. When added to the 5.6 million that he receives from NTV monthly, the entire show makes nearly 8 million shillings a month. This leaves many wondering why Churchill pays his comedians so dismally.
NE is reliably informed that Jesse earns Sh.70,000 weekly
Erick Omondi earns Sh.50,000 weekly,the explanation behind this have it that Jesse hosts the entire show while Erick only makes a ten minutes appearance on the show.
Other comedians like Chipukeezy, Sleepy,Ayeiya,Smart Joker and Teacher Wanjiku both take home only Sh.40,000 per month from the multimillion generating show.
Its because of this developments that has seen the KTN’s Kenya Kona to seize the opportunity and run away with the basking talents.
