Press Release: Churchill; Kenyan, Central and East African comedy juggernaut joins My Child: Teenage Mutant Azanians in their Pan-African pursuits.
The Comedy Central Africa series adds another.
Not yet content with their Pan-African comedy talent recruitment,My Child: Teenage Mutant Azanians have added Churchill, the Kenyan, Central and East African comedy behemoth to their cast. In the words of My Child: Teenage Mutant Azanians exec-producer, Nick Wilson; “Of the top 10 comedians in Africa, we believe we have all 10 of them on our cast. Churchill (Kenya) joins new recruits Carl Joshua Ncube (Zim), Salvado (Uganda), Daliso Chaponda (Malawi) and Basketmouth (Nigeria). Including the original cast members of Richelieu B Beaunoir (SA), Nina Hastie (SA), Mpho Popps (SA), Trevor Gumbi (SA) and Griffy 2Trillion (US); this is unquestionably, the strongest cast of African comedians ever assembled for a TV series.”
The premiere of My Child: Teenage Mutant Azanians at the Comedy Central International Comedy Festival and the subsequent broadcast on Comedy Central Africa represents the first ever half hour of adult animated comedy to have been produced for and broadcast to an African audience.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
