Career

Terence Creative began his career at the Kenya National Theatre, performing in set book plays before joining Churchill Show as a writer for comedians like Eric Omondi and Chipukeezy. He later stepped into the spotlight with his Kamami character, using his wife’s dera as a prop, which resonated with Kenyan women.

In 2018, he began posting comedy skits on YouTube, with early videos, such as couple-focused content, gaining traction. His 2020 John Vuli Gate dance challenge video went viral, showcasing his comedic versatility and earning widespread attention.

Terence’s breakthrough came in 2021 with his Wash Wash series, where he played Papa Fred, a Congolese fraudster, addressing money laundering with humour. The series, inspired by Edgar Obare’s exposé, garnered over 1 million YouTube views within weeks and trended at number one in Kenya.

He collaborated with his wife, Milly Chebby, and friend Darren Collins, leveraging funds from gigs to produce the skits. In 2018, he co-hosted Radio Jambo’s JAMBOMASSAWE with Massawe Japanni, expanding his media presence. His 2022 song Maua ya Expressway with Mammito and Jackie Vicky further showcased his creative range.

Currently, Terence Creative continues to dominate Kenya’s digital space, producing skits for his YouTube channel and engaging over 1 million Instagram followers. In July 2025, he called out TikToker Sparky Kenya for mocking matatu users over 35, promoting a “no-pressure” lifestyle and citing late bloomers like Morgan Freeman.

Despite personal challenges, including a 2024 leg injury and marital rumours, he remains a vocal advocate for resilience, often crediting Milly for his success. His role as Secretary General of DCCAK and work with the Global Wealth Forum highlight his influence as a humorpreneur and brand storyteller.
