Meet the talented comedian who is a top performer in class

Just mention the name Openda in Kenyatta University and you will be told endless tales of a thespian whose dramatic antics in acting have made him a household name. The fourth year English and Literature student, despite dramatizing and joking his way to fame, is still a top performer in his class and a lecturers’ “my student”.

The 22-year-old despite bagging a couple of awards for his TV drama (Hapa Kule News) role, is humble to fault. Pheny Oketch, a colleague student admits that he is the kind of person whom success hasn’t gotten into his head or heart. “He is perhaps the humblest thespian I know”, she says.
