A ONE-OFF show for a comedian of Anne Kansiime’s calibre was always going to be a tall order, given the huge following she commands and that fact that tickets for the show have already been snapped up.

Xtratime Entertainment said they decided to stretch the “laughing sessions” to tomorrow to ensure that all fans, including those who failed to secure tickets before they were sold out three days ago, will also have an opportunity to laugh their lungs out.
Xtratime Entertainment spokesperson Hazel Kurwakumire told NewsDay yesterday on the sidelines of a Press conference held in Harare that they had hastily organised a second show for Sunday to accommodate all the fans.
“We have decided to organise a second show on Sunday at the same venue and the tickets will be $20. We are trying to accommodate everyone who has been left out so people should come and enjoy,” said Kurwakumire.
Kansiime said the second show was a family affair meant for everyone.
“Don’t create excuses that the tickets have been sold out, you have been given a chance so go and get tickets because I will be performing again on Sunday,” said the Ugandan comedian.

“I know people are expecting more from me, please don’t expect much from this show because already there is too much pressure on me on what I am going to give to my fans tomorrow,” said Kansiime.
Kansiime also added that she would be happy to perform in Zimbabwe again if given another chance.
Doc Vikela, who is one of the supporting acts, said tomorrow would be an amazing night for him but admitted the pressure was intense.
“Sometime last year I joined Minibus Zimbabwe to do what Anne does, but then we failed so now sharing the stage with her, there is too much pressure on me, but it’s always a pleasure sharing the stage with someone you look up to,” he said.
