Password Lounge in Gulu erupted in waves of laughter last Friday night as the region’s tallest comedian, MC Kash “Owakabi,” celebrated 15 years in the industry—proving that laughter can indeed be serious business.
The celebration, powered by Uganda Waragi, kept spirits high with cocktails and discounted drinks as smooth as the punchlines delivered.
MC Kash’s journey to becoming a household name is truly inspirational. He officially launched his mainstream career in 2010 as an emcee, steadily refining his craft before courageously pivoting into the world of stand-up comedy. The show commemorated a decade and a half during which Kash has graced countless stages—from intimate community gatherings to grand corporate galas, joyful weddings, and vibrant festivals—consistently delivering laughter that resonates across diverse audiences.
“MC Kash represents the dedication and passion we celebrate at Uganda Waragi,” said Hillary Baguma, Brand Manager for Mainstream Spirits at Uganda Breweries Limited. “For 15 years, he has shown the same consistency and boldness that defines our brand. We are honoured to have witnessed his growth and are proud to support such acts that bring people together.”
Dubbed “Comedy Meets Music and Vibes,” the show attracted a distinguished and diverse audience. With all tables selling out a full week in advance, the comedian was energised to perform in front of a sold-out venue packed with VIPs, investors, beloved musicians, and fellow comedians from across the nation—all gathered to honour “Owakabi.”
The evening was a delightful trip down memory lane, featuring hilarious highlights from past shows, some fresh material, and Kash even handing out shots to playfully laugh off moments that may not have gone according to plan.
The stage also served as a melting pot of regional humour, with Arua’s duo Pato & Ziggy Zagga, South Sudan’s Lawrence, and Kampala-based comedians Merry Hearts and Don Andre all taking to the mic—barely giving the audience a chance to catch their breath.
Determined not to be outshone, musical artistes Magic Eezzy and Eddy Wizzy, along with the triple threat of DJ Joel Fresh, Frisco, and Dre, carried the night’s underlying theme forward with a mix of fan favourites and fresh tunes to keep the crowd entertained between laughs.
As MC Kash cemented his 15-year legacy, the event was a declaration that Northern Uganda’s entertainment scene has come of age. The evening celebrated talent, timing, and the unshakable belief that a good laugh is always something worth toasting.
On the road to celebrating 60 years of being part of Uganda’s authentic expression, Uganda Waragi is throwing its weight behind such landmark and unique comedic experiences. This anniversary not only marked the past 15 years but also heralded the beginning of an even brighter future—one filled with promise for Northern Uganda and the country as a whole.
