Mulamwah stands as a multifaceted individual, not only a comedian but also a trained nurse by profession.
Under the guise of David Oyando, he’s made his distinctive mark in the comedy arena, injecting a fresh and unique style that has the power to tickle the funny bones of countless Kenyans.
Hailing from the western region of Kenya, Mulamwah draws his origins from the picturesque landscapes of Butere in Kakamega County.
After losing his mother, Mulamwah found refuge at his aunt’s residence. He attended Mpeli Primary School in Bungoma during this time.
His journey took him to Legacy Schools in Kitale, where he completed his primary school education. His dedication led to an impressive score of 370 marks.
Mulamwah’s educational journey led him to St Anthony’s Boys High School in Kitale, where his dedication resulted in a remarkable achievement: an A- in his KCSE examinations.
This solid foundation paved the way for his pursuit of higher education at Moi University in Eldoret, where he embarked on his path toward a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing in 2012.
During his appearance on the Mic Cheque Podcast, he revealed that his father played a significant role in inspiring him to pursue a career in nursing.
“Initially, I didn’t select Nursing as my first choice. I had very good marks, an A-,” he said. He had to choose four courses, but he was unsure about the last one.
“I chose engineering and piloting—those typical courses everyone dreams of. I had one slot left, so I called my dad to ask what I should pick for the final slot.”
His dad advised him to choose Nursing for a significant reason. “He told me to pick Nursing because he is a clinical officer and said it has a good market abroad. So I chose it for fun,” he shared.
Surprisingly, this turned out to be brilliant advice. “It turned out the government assigned me that course. I completed the full degree and did my internship at Kenyatta,” Mulamwah explained. He got a paid internship in Nairobi.

The response to the video was nothing short of astounding. Its humour resonated deeply with a wide range of viewers, causing the video to swiftly spiral into the realm of virality.
