Watch The XYZ Show

The XYZ show is a comedic political satire television show. The show aims to delight its viewers by putting a humorous spin on political topics and subject matter that are relevant to a select core group of people. This tactic of humorously spinning political issues ultimately sheds light on matters that concern the audience that the shows content is geared towards.

The XYZ show is geared towards being relatable to an African audience. This element and characteristic of the show derives from the fact that the show's design is based of off occurrences in an East African community. Most of the show's plot is inspired by what goes on in its country of origin. The XYZ show found its beginnings in the country of Kenya and uses social, political and other issues that are happening inside and around the environment of Kenya as subject matter. In the development of the XYZ show, creators do the task of taking these issues and turning them into something that can be laughed at.

The XYZ show's uniqueness lies behind the approach to how the show is developed. The show doesn't use humans to act out roles. Instead of using people for acting purposes, the XYZ uses latex puppets as the main source of its cast and crew. Every character that shows up behind the camera lens is a uniquely designed puppet. Many of these puppets tend to resemble prominent figures in the Kenyan and global society. Some of the puppets made have depicted political leaders in the Kenyan government. The XYZ show is a first of its kind and being the fist of its kind, this satirical political puppet show has made itself a premier show on the continent of Africa and the world abroad.

The XYZ television show first aired in May of 2009. It is produced by the Buni TV network and has an official air time of 25 minutes.
