Hillary Okello Vows to Correct Africa’s Image Through Comedy

Hillary Okello, a clinician-turned-comedian, revealed in an interview his daring goal to rise as one of Africa’s leading stand-up comics.

He expressed his frustration with how Africa is often portrayed in global comedy, noting that many comedians from Europe and America present an outdated and inaccurate picture of the continent.

Okello is determined to change this narrative by using humor to tell authentic African stories.

He believes that by sharing true, rich, and diverse experiences from the continent, he can offer a fresh perspective that counters the stereotypes often seen in international comedy.

With a clear goal set for the next five years, Okello is committed to working tirelessly towards becoming a leading voice in comedy.
