Former Churchill show comedian Owago Onyiro ventured into different businesses to supplement his income as his comedy career took a beating since the Coronavirus pandemic struck.

The entertainment industry was severely affected by strict measures taken to curb the spread of coronavirus.

The ban on public gatherings means artistes can’t perform to big audiences essentially denying them their source of income.

Owago ventured into several businesses to supplement his income during the coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking during an interview with Churchill, Owaga revealed that he was forced to venture into business as he was not doing anything because there were no performances.

“That time, I was not doing anything so I decided to cook fish just like any other person and shared a video of myself preparing the fish on social media,” said Owago.

The video got a lot of traction. Out of that, he got orders and his business began. Owago decided to add smokies to the mix.
