Description

In this episode of Financially Incorrect, Barrack sits down with Doug Mutai who is a comedian, MC, entrepreneur, and founder of Standup Collective for a raw, entertaining, and inspiring conversation. Doug takes us from his early days in Nakuru, through unexpected detours in Canada, to the grind of building Kenya’s comedy industry from the ground up. He opens up about failed shows, life-changing encores, visa battles, running construction projects, sports-betting shops, and even cabbage farming all while chasing his passion for making people laugh. Plus, we get a behind-the-scenes look at the Nairobi International Comedy Festival and what it takes to put Kenyan comedy on the global stage. This is a story of resilience, reinvention, and finding success in unexpected places.
