Renowned Comedian Crazy Kennar, born Kennedy Odhiambo, is arguably one of the best content creators in Kenya, having won multiple awards, including the recently concluded Kuza Awards.
Kennar emerged third in the People’s Choice Award under Kenya’s favorite online content creators, closely behind Mike Muchiri and Abel Mutua.
Besides content creation, Kennar is a businessman and an ambassador to numerous brands. Some of the known businesses under his name are;
Instant Delicacies Restaurant
This is the first branch of a food joint to be associated with Kennar. Launched in May 2021 at Juja Square, Instant Delicacies Restaurant was frequented by young people from the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT).
The rise of Crazy Kennar, his career, education, net worth
During the launch, Kennar disclosed that the restaurant would specialize in fast foods and Swahili dishes. According to him, the idea of putting up the food joint was inspired by his need to create employment for young people.
“The restaurant currently has six employees. This is good since I’ve always wanted to open job opportunities for my fellow young people to enable positive growth in the society. I believe in people growing together and supporting one another,” he said during the launch of the restaurant.
A few months after its launch, Instant Delicacies became popular for its grilled chicken and fries. In January this year, the restaurant, through its official Instagram account, announced its exit from Juja.
“Instant Delicacies would like to inform the public of its intention to withdraw its operations from Juja. The premises will remain closed starting Friday, January 20. Our services will be temporarily unavailable as we wait to announce a new location. We apologise for any inconvenience caused,’’ reads the notice.
KAZI App
Kennar launched the KAZI App, an online application that connects job seekers to opportunities, in 2021 with the aim of solving the challenge of joblessness in the country.
The application process for the app is free, and it enables every non-employed or self-employed individual to generate income through various skills.
Kennar doubles up as the chief executive officer of The Tales of Crazy Kennar, which has employed 11 people. Under the platform, he posts on YouTube, Tiktok, Instagram and Facebook. His YouTube channel boasts over 600,000 subscribers and over 138 million views.
