Organised by Rwandan funnyman Merci Ndaruhutse, commonly known as Fally Merci, Gen Z Comedy Show aims at promoting young upcoming comedians in the country to give them a platform to showcase their talent as one of the factors impeding the development of upcoming comedians. He is using the Gen Z concept to unearth new talents and give them an opportunity to thrive.

The Gen Z show has seen the rise of comedians like Nepo, Demobe, Kamamata, Dudu, Bertin, Kadudu, Hubert, Cardinal, Zinzi, Muhinde, Admin, Barret, Clement, Mavide and Pazzo among others.

Talking to The New Times Ndaruhutse said he had to look for a bigger place for the show since seats at Ubuhanzi-Art Center were always fully booked.

"Now is the right time to take the show to a much bigger venue because revelers stood throughout the show because the place became small. Gen Z has grown in a year since its inception and that is thanks to comedy lovers who always show love to the show every time we host it. We hope this is a solution and will help our lovers to enjoy the fun experiences more comfortably,” he said.

The comedy show will be headlined by comedians Herve Kimenyi, Taykun, Fred Rufendeke and Gen Z comedians at 6:30 pm. Entrance fee is at RWF5, 000 regular and RWF10,000 VIP.
