Veteran comic Amooti Omubalanguzi revealed that his first substantial pay was Shs10,000 per night time, a sum that held extra worth again within the day.
Throughout these preliminary years, comedy was removed from profitable, with some comedians incomes little to nothing.
My first highest cost was Shs10,000 per night time, however this was from outdated instances, so that cash is value extra now.
Regardless of the small earnings, Amooti remained devoted, motivated by his love for comedy fairly than the cash.
Amooti recalled one in all his early gigs at a venue in Entebbe known as Vogue, close to Nkumba. There, he earned Shs5,000 per efficiency, whereas the DJ made a notable Shs30,000.
In a humorous twist, Amooti shared how he would pay the DJ Shs2,000 from his Shs5,000 earnings to hitch a trip house.
My aim wasn’t cash; it was reaching the highest and making comedy appreciated in Uganda.
