Her performance style, often described as wicked yet articulate, earned her widespread attention and solidified her status as a standout performer in the format. Her comedic range has been showcased through various television projects, including *The Comedy Riot* and *The Roast House* series, both of which have been pivotal in expanding her reach beyond live club audiences. In 2023, Nyambura’s efforts in the media and comedy landscape were recognized with a nomination for a Kalasha International Film and TV Award, acknowledging her performance in a comedy television series.
