It was a dosage of excitement and laughter as stand up comedian Agnes Akite hosted the Tusker Malt sponsored comedy show, the revelers were thrilled with bouts of laughter as different acts took to the stage to crack jokes on a range of topics mainly evolving around social issues. 

The  humor packed show was used to highlight some of the different issues that women in Uganda and around the world face in their day to day lives.
