Last Sunday, top comedian Salvado Idringi premiered his brand new TV show the first of it’s kind by Ugandans, to get the next big comedian.
The man from Ombokolo as he has been christened by fans, launched the new show called The Comic on NBS TV leaving the Ugandan public to comment at the end of the first episode.
Key among the comments was one made by comedian, Alex Muhangi who said that not enough was done to refine the contestants before they got on air. This raised beef concerns among fans of Salvado Idringi who said that Muhangi was hating on their star.
Speaking about the comment, Muhangi said that he has nothing but love for Salvado and loves him like his own brother.
‘People want to talk all the time they are idol. Journalists are wasting their degrees. He is like my brother. The young comedians need some training before they appear on TV. It is not about telling stories but making jokes out of the stories. The comment I made doesn’t mean I have a problem with Salvado. He always comes to my comedy show every week anyway so we are cool. Before doing auditions they need to show the young comedians how to behave on TV. It is not like singing competitions where people get on stage and show off their voice, this is different. They need to be trained. I gave a positive comment not a bad one,’ Muhangi defended himself.
The Comic is aimed at discovering the next breed of comedians in Uganda. It should be remembered that Salvado Idringi, Pablo and Daniel Omara were discovered 10 years ago in a similar competition run by Multichoice.
