Thursday, November 3rd, marks a special day for the actress, singer, radio presenter, improv comedian and blogger Patricia Kihoro.
After what the hilarious multi-talented actress calls “an insanely brief hiatus of only two and a half years,” Kihoro is bringing back her show, Life In The Single Lane, on Thursday at The Alchemist in Nairobi, Kenya.
“Folks who’ve watched it say it’s pretty funny, and they laugh and cry quite a bit although I’m not sure if it’s at me, or with me. Either way, it’s good times for sure, plus I also throw in some singing!”
The updated show tells intriguing tales from Nairobi’s Dating scene. From the romantic, the heartbreaking and the downright hilarious situations, Kihoro and her talented co-stars, Jason Runo and Tobynashe weave expertly told tales through interactive story telling, improvised acting and carefully curated acoustic music comprising of some of Kihoro’s original songs and new renditions of songs she loves.
You can get tickets for the show here.
In the meantime, Capital Lifestyle sat down with Kihoro ahead of Life In The Single Lane to get to know her a little better.
