Nakuru, like any other major town in Kenya, is full of talent and rich in culture. The talented individuals are actors, dancers, rappers, comedians, among others, who walk around their businesses in the town.

When the name Nakuru Talent pops up, people think of artists like Professor Hamo (Herman Gakobo), a comedian at Churchill Show, Avril (Judith Nyambura), a local musician, and Ng’ang’alito, a runner-up in Tusker Project Fame show, just to mention a few.
