Organised by Rwandan funnyman Merci Ndaruhutse, commonly known as Fally Merci, Gen Z Comedy Show aims at promoting young upcoming comedians in the country to give them a platform to showcase their talent as one of the factors impeding the development of upcoming comedians. He is using the Gen Z concept to unearth new talents and give them an opportunity to thrive.

Talking to The New Times Ndaruhutse said he had to look for a bigger place for the show since seats at Ubuhanzi-Art Center were always fully booked.
"Now is the right time to take the show to a much bigger venue because revelers stood throughout the show because the place became small. Gen Z has grown in a year since its inception and that is thanks to comedy lovers who always show love to the show every time we host it. We hope this is a solution and will help our lovers to enjoy the fun experiences more comfortably,” he said.
The comedy show will be headlined by comedians Herve Kimenyi, Taykun, Fred Rufendeke and Gen Z comedians at 6:30 pm. Entrance fee is at RWF5, 000 regular and RWF10,000 VIP.
