Comedians born in Meru County

Meru County, one of Kenya's administrative counties rather than a city, covers Mount Kenya's fertile northeastern flank and the plains stretching away below it. Tea, coffee and miraa fields sustain the Meru community here, whose principal town, Meru, sits at the county's centre.

Kenya's expanding live comedy circuit is reaching further into county towns like this one, including through comedian Timothy Kimani Ndegwa, who comes from the county.
