The "Gapapu” star was followed by upcoming singer Bruce Melody with his singles including "Telephone”, followed by Dream Boyz in their rendition of "No one like me” and "Iteka ni teka”.It was indeed a double act and the fair featured performances by aspiring comedian and KFM’s journalist Arthur Nkusi and Ishyo’s popular comedy group, Comedy Knight, left the crowd chuckling uncontrollably with their hilarious brand of comedy.The night came to an end at 10:30pm with a performance by Kitoko, backed up by a live band."It was a very fun night. I really enjoyed the show, and having Kitoko as the final presenter, it was awesome,” said Fiona Kamikazi, an employee at MTN. "I had never attended a comedy night before, it was interesting. I also enjoyed the performance by Dream Boyz,” said Viva Musiime, a Ugandan in Rwanda for a visit.
