In the vibrant world of comedy, Anne Kansiime shines as Uganda’s cherished “Queen of Comedy.” She has made history by being the first Ugandan content creator to surpass a staggering one million subscribers on YouTube. But what is the secret behind her remarkable achievement?


As the excitement mounts for her Comedy Grill show at Sheraton Gardens, Kansiime takes a moment to reflect on her incredible journey and the key pillars that have supported her success.

“I thank Kenyans so much for seeing me because after they saw me, the world started seeing me,” Kansiime revealed in a heartfelt interview. She reminisces about a pivotal moment in her career: taking the stage at the iconic Kasarani Stadium in Kenya, which she considers one of the defining chapters of her life.

“People fainted that day. We fainted! Me and the performers — we just fainted! The students were so overwhelmed, and there was so much joy and excitement… I’ll never forget that day,” she reflected, her voice tinged with emotion.

Initially drawn to stand-up as an economical means of promotion, that unforgettable Kenyan event marked a significant turning point. It was her first opportunity to take the entire “Don’t Mess With Anne Kansiime” crew beyond Ugandan borders—a bold move that launched her into the global limelight.

As she joyfully celebrates her comedy career during the Comedy Grill show, Kansiime isn’t merely commemorating her own success. She expresses deep gratitude to her loyal fans, especially those in Kenya, who helped magnify her talent and share it with the world.
