Actress Jamie McCall once said, "See it, learn it, do it ALL." Esther Kahuha is an actress, thespian, and stand-up comedian, which exemplifies this wise quotation. She is known for her long-time role in Nation TV's "Wingu la Moto," a part that she has played for over four years. She enthralled audiences with her role in KTN's "Mshamba," later from 2015 to 2018. It is through acting in Kenyan TV shows that she made her debut in the entertainment scene.

Yet her life started out quite differently. Enrolled to study Early Childhood Education, Kahuha had no idea she would turn out to be an actress-cum-standup comedian, or better yet, an award-winning one. She stumbled upon the chance to act through her cousin when someone dropped out of a production without warning. She auditioned and got the part, her first of many at Kenya National Theatre.
