Comedy, drama. Three aspiring comedians from Kisumu, Mombasa, and Nyeri arrive in Nairobi chasing their dream of making it through comedy. But in a city where people from every corner of Kenya come together, the jokes that once made everyone laugh back home don’t always land. As they struggle, clash, and question their identities, they must learn to adapt their comedy without losing the cultures and personalities that made them who they are.
