Doug Mutai
I’m Doug Mutai, a Kenyan stand-up comedian, writer and producer based in Nairobi. My comedy draws on everyday life, my Kenyan heritage and my experience on stages in Canada and across Africa.
Beyond performing, I build spaces for comedy to thrive. I founded Standup Collective, produce live shows and digital comedy, and lead the Nairobi International Comedy Festival.
From television and sketch writing to a room full of people sharing a laugh, the work always starts with a story.
