Munya Chawawa is a British-Zimbabwean comedian, who many may recognise for his hilarious parody videos during the pandemic.
The comedian is known on the internet for his sketches, which find a playful way to comment on current trending topics. These have included cooking tutorials in the style of Nigella Lawson as well as Love Island-themed videos and his responses to politics and the Prime Minster Boris Johnson's coronavirus briefings.
In November 2020, Atlantic Records released Munya's first single, titled "Piers Morgan", as well as a Daily Duppy on GRM Daily in December.
His second single, "Pain Au Chocolat" was released in August 2021. He has collaborated with the likes of comedians Mo Gilligan, Michael Dapaah and musicians Unknown T, (from whom he derived his character Unknown P).
In 2021, he took part on Celebrity MasterChef, and later that year he hosted The MOBO Awards alongside Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
