What comes in your mind when the name Makoha is mentioned and what inspired Makoha to be an actor and comedian at the same time. Here is the story of the best and famous Comedian Makoha.

He goes by the name ‘Alfonse dot makacha dot makokha’ and his unique name ,probably played a major part in propelling the comedy heavy weight to one of Kenya’s top comedians.

Mathias Keya is his official name, and consistency is simply his forte.Makokha went to Dr. Kraft Primary school where he did perform well in his exams. He later joined high school for her secondary school education but later dropped out in form two due to financial constraints.

He at some point dropped out of school when he was in form two due to lack of fee. At this point, he also thought that his acting career had started to vanish but little did he know that it was just the beginning of his victorious acting journey. Makokha was to join Zuma Zuma that earned him a tour to South Korea.

Makokha who stars in local comedy show Vioja Mahamkamani describes himself as an entertainer, a man who perfectly lives two completely separate lives. “People know me as the funny guy on their screens. I am a family man, a father in the house.” Said Makokha the father of four in an interview.

As many know Makokha and the roles he plays on Vioja Mahakani, most are the times he plays the bad guy role compared to the few he features as the hero. However, there’s more to the huge, dread locked comedian’s life than his fans know.

About his side hustle, Makoha owns a music production known as Zuka Production Studios. Makoha is currently acting on a local comedy series known as “Daktari” which airs on KTN  Tv every Tuesday of the week from 7:30pm to 8:00pm.
