Love was in the air, but so were the laughs! Gilbey’s Gin and Punchline Comedy Club partnered for a special Valentine’s Day event, infusing the day with joy, connection, and side-splitting humour.
Held at The Two Grapes Bar and Restaurant in Kilimani, laughter echoed through the venue as attendees enjoyed: Perfectly paired with Gilbey’s Gin cocktails on the food menu, these unique creations offered a refreshing and authentic way to celebrate.
The successful event exemplifies the ongoing partnership between Gilbey’s Gin and Punchline Comedy Club.
“This collaboration exemplifies our dedication to creating unique and memorable consumer experiences. Together, we are not just offering comedy nights; we are crafting evenings of pure enjoyment, where Gilbey’s Gin’s smoothness perfectly complements the laughter echoing through the venue,” Zipporah Ndung’u, Gilbey’s Brand Manager, says.
The partnership began with a series of weekly comedy nights: a weekly Wednesday comedy show at Two Grapes dubbed Winedown Wednesday, a weekly Thursday comedy show dubbed One Mic Stand, and a Friday activation at the Cavalli Restaurant and Bar.
Whether you’re celebrating love, friendship, or a good time, there’s something for everyone. “This collaboration is not just about comedy; it’s about creating unforgettable experiences that blend humour with the smooth taste of Gilbeys Gin. We believe laughter is a universal language, and with our partners, we aim to elevate the entertainment scene in Nairobi,” said Zipporah Ndung’u during the launch in January.
Over the last five years, Punchline Comedy Club has provided a platform for local comedic talent to grow and has built a loyal fan base through their open mic nights and digital content.
“More than anything, it is my conviction that standup comedy is the final frontier in the entertainment industry in Kenya & Africa. This is the next big thing. The talent is here. We have established and continue to grow a market, but most importantly, there remains immeasurable potential with what we can do. This partnership with Gilbeys Gin will take the Punchline Platform further to achieving its goal of making Nairobi the standup capital of Africa,” said Eric Lu Sava, Founder of Punchline Comedy Club.
