On Wednesday night, comedian Chipukeezy received a warm welcome after touchdown at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), months after he travelled to the United States.

Chipukeezy said that his America tour was a dream come true, reminiscing on the old days at Churchill Show and where he stands now as a standup comedian.

“It’s a dream come true for working with the best in the world, for them to appreciate and agree to work with me, welcome into their places and give me a stage to share with them is a blessing.

"It was an amazing experience I never thought that one day, I will be walking with Martin Luther King's children but it happened, all because of comedy. I was invited to the US by my Nigerian brothers who wanted me to be part of their tour,” Chipukeezy said.

In a separate post, Chipukeezy said that he has lined up a number of shows that will feature comedians from US, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, Rwanda and Kenya
