The Good, The Bad and The Kenyan’ is here!
Dates: 17 – 22 Jan

Heartstrings Kenya is up early with their gut-smashing original comedy, ‘The Good, The Bad and The Kenyan’.

This is a comedy that will surely define what this year will exactly be like. This is because this is the year, which will see the re-awakening of the people who will be very good, those who will be very bad and those who will irritatingly just sit around by the roadside and see the good things and the bad things happening.
