The announcement was made at a press conference at the National Theatre by Fun Factory and Uganda Breweries Limited representatives.

This event will bring comedy enthusiasts together to celebrate the laughter shared with Fun Factory from their origins at TLC in 2003 to their current weekly ‘Comedicine’ show at the National Theatre every Thursday.

Richard Tuwangye, Fun Factory’s Spokesperson, stated, “Big Sunday is going to be a one-of-a-kind grand comedy show to celebrate 20 years of weekly comedy. Our journey has been filled with both ups and downs, but above all, we have delivered laughter to millions of Ugandans, and this is the biggest point of pride for us.”

Fun Factory’s weekly sketch comedy shows started in October 2003 under Philip Luswata’s stewardship. In 2007, they gained momentum with NTV’s “BarbedWire,” becoming the only sketch comedy show on TV, accelerating the growth of the comedy scene.

“Uganda Waragi is the spirit of Uganda that boldly celebrates everything that is uniquely and authentically Ugandan.
