The vibrant world of Kenyan comedy on Saturday witnessed a powerful display of solidarity as prominent comedian MCA Tricky offered profound insights into the success of his colleague Oga Obinna and underscored the crucial role of teamwork within the entertainment industry.
Speaking at Oga Obinna's highly anticipated comedy special, "My Mistakes," onJune 7th, MCA Tricky's presence and words resonated deeply, highlighting the evolving landscape of content creation and the enduring spirit of camaraderie among artists.

A Pillar of Support for Oga Obinna's Triumph
MCA Tricky's attendance at Oga Obinna's show was far from a mere formality; it was a deliberate act of friendship and professional respect.
"First things first, of course, I had to be here today, and that's the kind of support that I appreciate from friends," Tricky stated, emphasizing the importance of reciprocation.
The comedian acknowledged the immense effort and hassle involved in creating a show, asserting that if he is available, there's no good reason not to support a friend and fellow comedian.
Tricky, himself an artist and comedian, was not only there to enjoy but also to learn from Obinna's performances and those of other acts, recognizing this as a vital aspect of industry growth.
“I'm also here to learn. I'm not coming here to just ride on the show and enjoy just like the audience. I'm an artist. I'm a comedian. I have to come here and learn from his performances and the other performances, and that is what builds us as an industry,” Tricky said.
MCA Tricky offered strong encouragement to Obinna, advising him to "continue doing what you are doing 'cause it's working... until it stops working."

The Indispensable Role of Teamwork and Mutual Support
MCA Tricky passionately articulated his philosophy on artistic collaboration, describing it as a fundamental spirit.
He unequivocally stated, "teamwork is all about having people around you because if you don't have people then you are not an artist. It's simple as that.” This highlights the symbiotic relationship between artists and their audience, and more broadly, between artists themselves.
“That's a spirit because teamwork is all about having people around you because if you don't have people then you are not an artist. It's simple as that. So, we have to come through for each other because you never know one way or the other, we have to support each other,” Tricky urged artists.

MCA Tricky's Artistic Journey and Exciting Future Prospects
Beyond offering support and industry wisdom, MCA Tricky also gave a glimpse into his own artistic journey, likening art to a "journey" that necessitates careful preparation.
"You ned to know when to pack your clothes. You need to know where you going. You need to know how long you are taking your journey," he explained, underscoring the strategic planning involved in a successful artistic career.
For his eager fanbase, Tricky teased exciting news: "I'm preparing something for my fans... very soon towards the end of this year I'll be doing something big in Nairobi.”
While he chose not to reveal further details, confirming only that "Tricky will be back," the announcement promises a significant project, building on previous shows he had started.
