One of Rwanda’s most influential gospel artists, Israel Mbonyi, is set to perform at Gen-Z Comedy, a youth-centered entertainment show scheduled for October 30, 2025, at Camp Kigali.
His appearance marks the first time the celebrated worship singer joins a comedy-driven stage designed to bring together young people for fun, music, and unity. The organizers promise a refreshing blend of humor, Christian entertainment, and interactive music moments that resonate with today’s young generation.
Israel Mbonyi’s participation comes shortly after achieving a major career milestone: becoming the first Rwandan artist to surpass two million subscribers on YouTube, accumulating more than 500 million total views on the platform.
This achievement reflects the growing influence of his message of worship across Africa and beyond.
He announced the news with heartfelt gratitude toward God and his supporters, emphasizing that YouTube has become an important medium for spreading the gospel to the world.
Mbonyi recently introduced “Hobe”, his highly anticipated fifth album, whose visuals were filmed earlier this year. He is expected to perform select songs from this and his earlier albums, making the concert a special moment for fans eager to experience his new music live.
Interestingly, Gen-Z Comedy is not a typical worship event. It is a creative space where artists, including comedians, singers, and public figures, connect with young audiences through lively entertainment, storytelling, and shared values.
Adding a leading gospel artist like Mbonyi not only elevates the show but also shows how gospel music continues to expand beyond church walls.
His inclusion alongside fellow worship artists such as Aimé Uwimana and Prosper Nkomezi strengthens the spiritual atmosphere of the event, while still maintaining the core mission: empowering youth, encouraging unity, and promoting positive recreation.
For many fans, seeing Mbonyi appear on a comedy stage reflects the versatility of modern gospel music, bold enough to enter mainstream entertainment spaces while retaining its powerful message. It suggests a cultural shift in how faith-centered music influences youth culture in Rwanda.
Israel Mbonyi’s upcoming performance at Gen-Z Comedy represents more than just a concert appearance. It symbolizes a new chapter in his artistic journey, one where worship encounters youth entertainment in a vibrant, inclusive setting.
As his songs continue to inspire millions, events like this help bridge generations and cultures, proving that gospel music remains a compelling force in shaping positive youth experiences.
With excitement building ahead of the event, this performance is expected to leave a lasting impression, uplifting hearts while bringing young people together in celebration, laughter, and worship.
