The ‘Highs & Highs’ of Nseko Buseko Comedy Show

Last week, Uganda’s best comedy duo, Madrat and Chico, held their fourth Season of the much anticipated Nseko Buseko comedy show at the UMA Multipurpose Hall.

The show which kicked off at exactly 7 pm, saw the hall get filled to capacity as it bounced back from a 2019 COVID-19 pandemic-induced hiatus.

The show was supported by Uganda Waragi. It was organised by Talent Africa.

Joke-cracking Ribs were cracked from acts that were not pre-announced, which means every performance besides the hosts was a pleasant and exciting surprise.

With some of the greats like Bizonto and Salvador (who was also the show’s MC), Madrat and Chico earned the crowd’s laughter and respect – utilising a well-orchestrated stage production and keeping the show visually appealing by changing outfits at least 3 times and using props like straw hats, a unicycle and throne.

They would also have fun with the crowd – sending well-intentioned and unscripted jabs at some of the high-profile guests like Kampala Central MP – Hon. Muhammad Nsereko, among others.

The show also featured a hilarious collaboration between Madrat and Chico and the Fun Factory comedy troupe – with the duo performing alongside Phillip Luswata, Dickson Zizinga, Isaac Kuddzu and Teacher Mpamire.

The event’s sponsor – Uganda Waragi – brought on board a fully-stocked cocktail bar with professional mixologists that served guests unique cocktails.

While speaking about the experience, Hillary Baguma – the Brand Manager of Mainstream Spirits at Uganda Breweries Limited (UBL) – said, “It fills us with a lot of pride to see Ugandans enjoy the best comedy talent available in the country today. Our support for Madrat and Chico is yet another testament to our commitment to being a strong proponent of and celebrating all things that are authentically Ugandan by binding our consumers through comedy.”

Uganda Waragi will be joining Madrat and Chiko for the Nseko Buseko comedy tours going on around the country.
