The announcement was made by Uganda Breweries Limited’s Brand Manager Mainstream Spirits – Hillary Baguma – during a press conference at Arcadia Suites Hotel.

While addressing the media, Baguma said, “Ugandans are inherently happy people, and besides Uganda Waragi, laughter is another of the unique things that unite and bind us as Ugandans. And as a brand, we are looking to delve deep into the heart of comedy to bring to this country the very best comedic experiences available boldly and vibrantly.”

According to Baguma, the brand will be supporting comedy in an initiative that will see several talented Ugandan comedians like Salvado, Madrat and Chico, Alex Muhangi, Fun factory, and others entertain audiences in several parts of the country.

While addressing the press, Salvado said, “Africa Laughs started as a dream to highlight the very best Ugandan and African comedic talent on a bigger stage than we were used to, and we are honoured to have Uganda Waragi on board because it is a brand that understands the true essence of Ugandanness and will make this edition a truly memorable experience.”

The show will also feature musical performances from Deejay Cacie, Janzi Band, Azawi, Rema and Eddy Kenzo.
