Popular Churchill Show entertainer Zainabu Zeddy has linked the recent death of her two colleagues to frustrations in the comedy industry.
In a long post on Instagram on Tuesday night, Zeddy accused Churchill Show Creative Director she identified as Victor Ber of being a “dream killer”.
The funny woman accused the director of frustrating upcoming comedians hence driving them into depression.
She claims that Victor is heartless and often takes advantage of being the person who decides who appears in the show which airs on NTV every Sunday to frustrate the people he doesn’t like.
Zeddy detailed that one can go for rehearsals for three days and the director won’t even have the courtesy to tell them that their jokes are not “funny” or they won’t be performing.

She claims that Ber goes to the extent of taking a comedian’s name off the list of performing artists minutes to live performance.
Some comedians, Zeddy said, had been suspended for no reasons.
She claimed that Churchill Show comedian Joseph Musyoki Kivindu alias Kasee, who was on Sunday found dead on the roadside in Kinoo, Kiambu County, was a troubled man.
According to Zeddy, Kasee had made several attempts to appear in several Churchill Show episodes without success.
She claims that after she raised alarm over Kasee’s condition Ber and other Churchill show managers promised Kasee that he would perform in Machakos only to disappoint him in the last minute.

Zeddy further stated that comedian Anthony Njenga alias Njenga Mswahili who died in November last year had severally begged Ber for a chance to perform but he kept ignoring him. He was found dead days later on Dagoretti rail tracks.
Daniel Ndambuki is the founder of the Churchill Show and has often been accused of paying his talent peanuts, claims he has vehemently denied in the past.
Zeddy’s Instagram post reads, “Ndio huyu mzizi wa fitna @VictorBer24 creative director wa Churchill Show “Depression maker”.
