Former Churchill Show comedian David The Student has recently stirred up speculation online after posting a photo with a white woman while abroad. Known for his humorous stage presence and a viral incident involving a racist passenger during his time as a Lyft driver in the U.S., David has largely kept a low profile in recent years. However, this latest photo has fans talking and wondering about his relationship status.
David, whose real name is David Kagongo, previously captured public attention not just through comedy, but also through a courageous stand he took during a heated confrontation with a racist Lyft passenger. While working as a driver in Issaquah, Washington, David had asked a passenger to wear a mask, which resulted in a barrage of racial abuse from the man. David calmly recorded the exchange, which gained widespread support on social media. The incident ended with the offending passenger being banned from Lyft, while David was praised for maintaining his composure under pressure.
After the viral moment, David kept his life more private, occasionally resurfacing on social media with personal updates and heartfelt tributes — including one to fellow comedian Fred Omondi. Recently, he posted a video of himself performing stand-up comedy at a local pub, hinting at a quiet return to the stage.
The latest stir, however, came from a simple photo posted on Saturday, May 24. In it, David is seen standing beside a white woman near a lake. He wore a red Arsenal t-shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers, while the woman stood close to him in flowered trousers and a black top. With her arms resting affectionately on his, the two smiled warmly at the camera — a pose that led fans to believe the two might be more than just friends.
The post quickly generated buzz among followers. Many assumed the woman was his new partner, and the comment section was filled with warm messages, congratulations, and nostalgic remarks about his time on the Churchill Show. Some praised his new lifestyle, while others expressed how much they missed his comedy. Others simply noted how happy and relaxed he looked, proud of how far he had come.
In addition to fueling relationship rumors, the post seemed to confirm that David is thriving abroad — still making people laugh, but now seemingly more at peace with himself and his journey. His fans remain supportive, many expressing admiration for his resilience and hoping for more stage appearances in the future.
Meanwhile, the comedy scene in Kenya recently celebrated the birthday of Daniel Ndambuki, better known as Churchill, who turned 47 in a vibrant event at Carnivore in Nairobi. The celebration, held during a live recording of the Churchill Show, brought together comedians and fans for a night of laughter and memories — a testament to the influence and legacy of Kenya’s comedy pioneers, including David The Student.
