About Eunice Wanjiru Njoki

Eunice Wanjiru Njoki (born 18 September 1993), known as Mammito, is a Kenyan stand-up comedian, actress, writer and mcee. She was born in Nairobi and grew up in the slums of Kibera, raised single-handedly by her mother, Nancy Njoki, a seamstress.

Mammito attended Laini Saba Primary School and later studied Community Development at Mount Kenya University, where she joined the drama group. During one of the university talent shows she registered as a singer but instead did stand-up comedy, earning a standing ovation from the judges; it was at that moment that she knew she wanted to be a stand-up comedian. She got the name Mammito from a clique of friends who used to call each other Mammito.

After missing out on social work job opportunities, she auditioned for the Churchill Show, and after several rejections she was finally admitted in 2015. Her first open mic performance at the Churchill Show was marked by stage fright, but she persevered. In 2017 she was scheduled to perform at the Kigali International Comedy Festival, and in 2018 she appeared in the television documentary Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown as herself. On 2 August 2019 she performed at the Queens of Comedy in Botswana.
