Comedian Eric Omondi will not be on your TV screen soon, Chillax can confirm. Eric, who was expected to make a come back on NTV’s Churchill Show last week, says he is tired and needs time off.
“I will be coming back in March or thereabouts,” the comedian said, adding, “You cannot crack jokes all year round. You need a little break.” Eric Omondi is no longer on TV currently, but fans eagerly await his return.
Eric said he was overwhelmed by the Safaricom Live shows, which he performed across the country, among other events, leading to him no longer being on TV.
Four artistes have recently taken a break from the Churchill Show — Eric Omondi, Teacher Wanjiku, Chipukeezy and AKA. This highlights why Eric Omondi is no longer on TV at the moment.
