Uganda: Akandolindoli Rides On Creativity

Of late, cars are parked as far away as the playground. What brings people here is comedy courtesy of members of The Spotlight Akandolindoli. The three-hours nonstop comedy starts at 8pm and patrons leave praising the comedians for their creativity and sense of humour.

Akandolindoli was started by CBS FM presenters during the tough times when the radio was shut down by government in 2009. The comedy night was started by Abby Mukiibi, Patriko Mujuuka, Billy (Kasode) Katumba, Kayibanda and Abu Kawenja.
