What You Missed At Anne Kansiime’s Memorable Show: The Comedy Grill

If you missed this one, you can only blame yourself. The Comedy Grill of Anne Kansiime – the very first of its kind in Uganda – pooled together the cream of Kampala as the comedienne celebrated over 18 years in the industry on Friday.

The Talent-Africa-organized Comedy Grill that happened at the Sheraton Hotel Gardens was filled with laughter, wit, and unapologetic roasting. Guests were tastefully snapped and then handed a signature Uganda Waragi Lemon & Ginger cocktail that paired perfectly with the roasts to follow.

Before the main Grill, comedian Daniel Omara set the tone with a short but sizzling stand-up set, teasing the crowd with sample roasts in the style of what was to come.

The official proceedings kicked off with lively introductions by the dynamic MC duo of Tuwangye Richard and Deedan Muyiira, who introduced the stellar lineup of “Grill Chefs.”

The roasters featured a blend of familiar faces and fresh comedic voices, including Salvador, Madrat and Chico, Nana Kagga, GNL Zamba, Gaetano Kaggwa, Dr. Miria Matembe, Prim Asiimwe, and Skylanta, who each delivered a unique set that showcased the breadth and depth of Ugandan talent.

Speaking at the show, Hillary Baguma, Brand Manager Mainstream Spirits at Uganda Breweries, said, “Seeing such incredible talent come together was truly special. As Uganda Waragi Lemon and Ginger, we’re proud to have sparked this unforgettable night of fun in a way that authentically reflects who we are as Ugandans.”

Anne Kansiime made a grand entrance in a flowery pink gown, embracing the playful humiliation with grace and humor as she took her seat for the grill to fully commence.

The first Grill chef to step up was seasoned hip-hop veteran GNL Zamba, who landed playful jabs at his fellow chefs and Kansiime. The night heated up with each subsequent set as claps and clapbacks flew across the stage, leaving the audience in stitches.

When Kansiime finally took the mic, she dished out a few shots and heartfelt words of gratitude to the guests, grillers, sponsors, and all who have seen her through her journey that led to this remarkable night.

As the show came to a close, the atmosphere left revelers with what felt like a first taste of a flavorful addition to the comedic offerings on Uganda’s entertainment scene.
