The Hot Seat is a Kenyan comedy television series in the style of a roast featuring Kenyan celebrities. The show is hosted by a team of stand-up comedians who present material about a new celebrity guest in each episode.[1]The roast show features some of Kenya’s biggest celebrities and media personalities including comedian Terrence Creative, content creator Kabi Wa Jesus, media personality Willis Raburu, Andrew Kibe, musician Willy Paul, comedian Eddie Butita, Sauti Sol’s Savara and more.[2]
The show was developed by Eugene Mbugua as a follow-up to his 2022 show Roast House, which also debuted on Showmax. Shot at Alloys Bar & Lounge, it features upcoming comedians in Kenya. Emmanuel Kisiangani serves as MC for most episodes, except during the roast of Pierra Makena.[3]
Stanslaus Manthi of Business Daily Africa described the show as “sharp, unfiltered, and unapologetically Kenyan” in his review, stating: “The Hot Seat is brutal in the best way. It is like a slaughterhouse where egos go to die. The fact that the show is homegrown makes it even better.”[4]
