Popular comedian MCA Tricky, known for his witty humor and down-to-earth persona, has recently opened up about his relationship with alcohol, clarifying why he has never considered quitting drinking.
While addressing the topic during an interview with Nairobi News, the comedian, whose real name is Francis Munyao, shared insights into his life, successes, and thoughts on alcohol consumption.
MCA Tricky explained that although he drinks, it is purely for social enjoyment and not out of addiction.
“I drink, but I don’t smoke. I know why I drink, and it’s not because I am addicted. I just enjoy having a good time with my friends,” he candidly remarked.
The comedian emphasized that for him, drinking is part of his social experience, something that allows him to connect with people, gather inspiration, and conduct “research” for his comedy.
For MCA Tricky, being a comedian means staying in touch with everyday life and understanding his audience’s experiences. He believes that social interactions, including sharing a drink with friends, give him a better perspective on the world around him.
“As a comedian, going out and interacting with people is part of my research. I can’t sit in the house 24/7 and expect to know what’s going on out there,” he added.
Despite his openness about alcohol consumption, MCA Tricky made it clear that he is mindful of how he drinks and has no interest in making a show of it. He stressed that while he enjoys the occasional drink, he does not need to flaunt expensive alcohol to prove a point.
“I’m not the kind of person to show off with expensive alcohol. Sometimes I sit in social places and just take a juice and go home,” he said with a laugh, showing his laid-back attitude toward social drinking.
