Tears Flow as Sammie and Shawa Blast Fellow Comedians Ahead of Big Show
Ugandan comedy duo Sammie and Shawa were overcome with emotion as they addressed the media ahead of their May 8 show at Theatre La Bonita, turning what was meant to be a routine press event into a tense and revealing moment.
The press conference, held at Success Motors, quickly shifted tone as the pair spoke about feeling unsupported by fellow comedians.
Shawa struggled to hold back tears as she called out colleagues for not showing up.
Fellow comedians, you’re heartless… we always turn up for your concerts and support you, but you’ve not done that for us.
The situation grew more intense when she directly mentioned Madrat and Chiko, expressing disappointment in their absence.
Madrat and Chiko, you’re so bad.
Sammie stood beside her, visibly affected, as the emotional exchange unfolded in front of journalists and fans.
The event had been planned to promote their upcoming show, but instead sparked wider conversations about unity and support within Uganda’s comedy industry.
Despite the tension, the duo maintained their focus on the big night, promising fans a lively and memorable performance.
As the show date draws closer, attention now shifts to how the comedy fraternity will respond to their public appeal.
