The comedian branded himself as a street boy and within no time people believed that his alleged street life was actually true.

Theories and stories of how he had moved from being a street boy to one of the most established comedians in the country emerged and would be narrated in different fashion and versions.

What many did not know is that by the time MCA Tricky whose real name is Francis Munyao was venturing into comedy, he was actually a third-year student at Kenyatta University studying Engineering.

“Everybody leads their life and you must not live your life with others. There is a life to live with others and there is a life to live alone,” MCA Tricky told.

According to the comedian, his classmates were among the few people who knew about his academic life.

“The people who knew are the ones who should have known. In KU, comrades knew me. I would perform there as MCA Tricky. But I wouldn’t take a vuvuzela and a trumpet and start walking in town announcing that I’m in class,” he added.

The comedian evidently did a good job of remaining humble and allowing himself to be associated with street life.

MCA Tricky is also a radio presenter working with Radio Maisha.
