Kenya's comedy scene has seen many stars rise, but few have experienced the extreme highs and lows of Prof Hamo's journey.
From battling self-doubt to becoming a multimillionaire, losing it all, and making a stunning comeback, his story is nothing short of extraordinary.
Prof Hamo first stepped on stage at 28 after struggling with low self-esteem. Just four years later, he was a household name, performing on national TV and enjoying the kind of success many comedians only dream of.
"At 32 years, I was a national name and a multimillionaire," he shared on Instagram.
His career soared, but by the time he was 39, everything had unravelled. The wealth, fame, and opportunities that once defined his success were gone, leaving him at his lowest point.
"At 39 years, I lost it all," he revealed in a candid post.
For many, such a downfall could mark the end. But Prof Hamo refused to stay down. Through resilience and reinvention, he fought his way back. Now, at 42, he stands on the other side of his struggles, proving that comebacks are possible.
"At 42, I've bounced back from the pit. I have no idea where you are in your path. I believe you too will make it," he declared.
From self-doubt to stardom, from loss to resurgence, Hamo's story a testament to the unpredictable nature of success and the power of perseverance.
His powerful message struck a chord with fans and fellow entertainers, who flooded his post with encouragement and praise.
"Amen, that's how God works," Churchill wrote:
"See what the Lord has done, my bro," Evelyne Wanjiru posted on the Instagram post.
Fellow comedian MCA Tricky said: "Ka-Ritual! May God bless you! May the stage always be a good place for you."
Prof Hamo's rollercoaster journey, rising to wealth, losing everything, and rebuilding from the ground up inspired many of the fans in the comments section.
