Butita began his stand-up comedy journey on Churchill show in 2010.
In March this year, he opened up on the toxicity he encountered at the platform.
“I was featured on Churchill Raw for a year, where I showcased my talent and garnered recognition. However, I was denied the opportunity to join the main Churchill Show lineup, despite possessing quality content,” he said.
“Partially it was toxic especially if you were an expert in something. Do we have a reason why YY was doing Churchill Raw? He is a pro. At some point, I was given a job but someone took it away from me,” he said.
