Ugandan Comedian's Hilarious Take on KFC and Event Promotion
Kampala's LUAGH Festival: A Comedian's Take on KFC and Event Promotion The 2025 LUAGH Festival in Kampala, Uganda, provided the backdrop for comedian Salvador's insightful and hilarious performance. His stand-up routine centered on the unexpected cultural impact of KFC's arrival in Uganda and, surprisingly, on the importance of artist representation in event promotion. Salvador's jokes resonated deeply with the audience. "The first time KFC opened in Kampala," Salvador recounted, "everyone went wild! All the slay queens were taking pictures." He humorously noted the tendency of some people to prioritize photos over purchases, highlighting a generational shift in consumer behavior. His observations extended beyond consumer habits. He shared a story about an uncle who called him to inquire about KFC, demonstrating how this fast-food chain has infiltrated even remote areas of Uganda. He then transitioned to a serious point about the importance of properly crediting artists on event posters, drawing on his own experiences as an MC. "Make sure you name every artist and their picture is on the poster," Salvador advised, "because people come to the event with the poster." This advice, delivered with his signature comedic timing, underscores the importance of respecting artists and promoting events fairly.
