    Pictorial: Nseko Buseko’s 4th Season Sells Out UMA Multipurpose Hall

    The fourth Season of Madrat & Chiko’s Nseko Buseko comedy show saw the UMA Multipurpose Hall get filled last Friday as the duo held their first show since 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic with the support of Uganda Waragi.

    Organised by Talent Africa, the show delivered hours of comedy 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, who they teased for giving them small tips.

    The show also featured a hilarious collaboration between Madrat and Chiko 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 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 Chiko 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.

  • Madrat & Chiko to headline Singleton Challenge Round Two in Entebbe this Weekend

    Madrat & Chiko to headline Singleton Challenge Round Two in Entebbe this Weekend

    After their successful show early last year, the dynamic comedy duo of Madrat & Chiko –real names Dickson Lubega and Frank Mubiru– have been on a roll, with their comedy acts and shows growing by the number.

    And by the time next week starts, the profile of the ever-improving duo will have risen a notch higher, for the comic pair is set to headline performances at the prestigious Singleton challenge slated to take place at Entebbe Golf Club this Saturday.

    Chiko and Madrat doing their best on stage

    The duo will be the lead entertainers for golfers and guests at the exclusive 19th Hole Experience at the Entebbe Club –and you can be sure that after the golfers are done with Round two of the challenge on the greens, they will have to laugh their stomachs out.

    Madrat and Chiko will not be the only comedians in the house; they will be performing alongside famed President Museveni imitator Teacher Mpamiire, as well as the event’s host Patrick Salvador Idringi.

    When asked about how they are able to communicate at corporate events, given they came through the ranks as a primarily downtown comedy outfit, the duo were candid in their inevitably funny way:

    “There is a saying that ‘desperate situations call for desperate measures.’ We didn’t complete school and truth be told, our English is not the best, but we will speak it when we have to. At most corporate events, we are pushed to the wall, but at the end of the day we come out of it and smile all the way to the bank. People should expect the best”.

    The grand prize for the winning pair of this year’s Singleton Challenge is a fully-paid golfing trip to watch the OMEGA Dubai Desert Classic, a series which has featured some of golf’s best players, including Tiger Woods and Henrik Stenson.

    There will also be business class return air-tickets for the first and second runner-up pairs, and for the winners of the subsidiary events in the men’s and ladies’ categories. Other prizes include monthly subscription packages on DStv, treats at Serena Hotel, golf accessories and HTC goodies.
