Renowned Kenyan comedian and content creator, Kennedy Odhiambo, famously known as Crazy Kennar, recently stirred the entertainment and business world when he announced the closure of his restaurant.

“I realized managing a restaurant is like hosting a free-for-all comedy show where everyone wants to be the headliner,” Kennar joked. “You’re dealing with customers who expect you to be their chef, waiter, and therapist – all at the same time. And if the food delays by five minutes? You might as well prepare a full apology skit.”
Despite the lighthearted delivery, Kennar admitted that running the establishment came with serious challenges. From fluctuating supply costs to navigating the delicate art of customer service, the comedian shared that the experience offering invaluable lessons about resilience, adaptability, and knowing when to let go.
“I learned that success in hospitality doesn’t just take hard work – it needs a special kind of patience. Unfortunately, my patience is better suited for comedy than for complaints about undercooked chapati,” he quipped.
