“Super excited to be back on stage with new big acts and a whole New Experience…and yes we have a new Home,” reads an announcement form Churchill.
There were reports earlier that Churchill Show producers, Laugh Industries, had terminated their partnership with NTV.
This is even as Churchill show had aired on NTV since 2007, going for season breaks between its many episodes.
Sources intimated that some of the reasons for the termination of the NTV partnership were production costs and logistics.
In the changeover, Leonard Kitili will be the new director of Churchill show after renowned music producer and cinematographer J. Blessing left.
Since the onset of Covid-19, and the ban on public gatherings, Churchill show had a change in format, interviewing celebrities and news makers.
Former Kiss FM presenter Jalang’o, had in 2020 claimed that Churchill Show was so expensive to produce that the host – Daniel Ndambuki ‘Churchill’- would hardly make money.
“Let me tell you something Churchill will never reveal, and comedians cannot understand. People see a packed audience and think he has made a lot of money. The tent in which the event is held doesn’t cost less than Sh3 million,” Jalang’o explained.
He added that the show would cost upwards of Sh5 million and that for Churchill Show to cover its operating costs, at least 5,000 tickets would have to be sold at Sh1,000 a piece.
Churchill, according to Jalang’o, would have been lucky to make even Sh200,000 from certain events staged by Laugh Industries.
