Timothy Kimani, widely known by his stage name Njugush, has recently announced his intention to adopt his stage name as his official name. In an interview with film producer Philip Karanja, he explained that it has become increasingly challenging to differentiate between his personal name and the brand name Njugush.
Njugush acknowledged the immense popularity and growth his brand name has brought to his comedy series, "Through Thick and Thin" (TTNT). The recent TTNT 4 Nairobi edition, held at the KICC, drew a remarkable attendance of over 3000 people. This successful event followed Njugush and his wife's triumphant show in Swindon, UK, just a few weeks earlier.
By making his stage name his official name, Njugush aims to streamline his identity and unify his personal and professional image. This decision reflects his commitment to his comedic craft and the recognition that his brand name has become synonymous with his achievements in the entertainment industry.
