Hello everyone,

Should we set out to explore Kenyans culture through its sense of humour? Indeed, if one is planning to settle in the country, it is best to understand the cultural codes governing humour in order to avoid any faux-pas.

What is special about the sense of humour in Kenya?

Is it acceptable to joke about any situations?

What is typically funny and what is absolutely not funny?

Are there any popular comedians in Kenya and how would one be able to discover them (stand-up shows, festivals, internet, etc.)?

What is the funniest joke you have heard in Kenya?

Please share your experience,

Bhavna

The Kenyan sense of humor is undeniable. Someone somewhere is always coming up with a funny post on social media hoping it will go viral.
Kenyans are without a doubt, a vibrant and fun loving lot. Even with all the differences in their personalities and cultures, there are still plenty of things that bring them together. Apart from visiting the touristy attractions, there are more things to do in Kenya than you can possibly imagine. These things are lesser known options, they are mostly easy to do and you need not be Kenyan to enjoy them.
