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.
Its called the ownership society.the rich continue getting richer while the poor remains so
ReplyDeleteIf this is true then soon Churchill show/raw will run short of comedians to perform and you will be seeing more the likes of creative generations...
ReplyDeleteEntertainment in kenya doesn't pay!
ReplyDeleteKwani they want to earn how much? What about those who work behind the scenes how much do they earn
ReplyDeletebut still upto now churchill shows rock more than the kenya cona shows.the matter of pay can be quickly resolved unlike the battle of superiority which is too hard for kenya cona to win.
ReplyDeletePeople, that Jessee is making more than what General Managers are taking home from Multi-billion making institutions... money doesn't grow on trees and it is not their business to start calculating what the owner of the show is taking home... do they put in other costs... the lighting, the venue, the camera man, the taxes etc? These youngsters are a spoilt lot... they want to appear for 2 minutes and want to earn 100k per minute? Life is not a bed of Superfoam guys.... Take the advantage of the two minutes and sell your talents.... you do not know what you've got until you stop looking at those zeros at the end of the figure.... if you look at the opportunity he has granted you, you can never repay for it... An you imaging if you were advertising yourself on the TV for two minutes? how much would you pay for? Think in that light! You might leave the comedy and be poached to read news in another TV station.... Open your eyes, stop putting the dollar googles and put the opportunity glasses..... you'll be flying high in 5 years! otherwise, you'll be telling jokes to the goats in your backyard if all you are thinking about is money!
