This Friday, October 30th, Kampala's Cricket Oval will host Comedy Store Uganda's 10th anniversary celebration, featuring a star-studded lineup. Tanzanian music sensation Diamond Platnumz will headline the event, marking his first major performance in Kampala since 2019. The event promises to be a dramatic celebrity moment, with Diamond's two significant women, Zari Hassan and Zuchu, expected to attend.
Diamond and Zari's relationship is well-known in Uganda, having gone public in 2014 and having two children together, Latifah and Prince Nillan, before their highly publicized breakup in 2018. Despite their split, they have remained co-parents, with Diamond often referring to Uganda as his "second home" due to his children's Ugandan heritage. Zuchu, Diamond's current partner, has been gaining fans for her handling of the blended family.
Zuchu recently made headlines with her statement about co-parenting, saying that two people who have had children together can never completely erase each other from their lives. This was seen as an olive branch to Zari, adding to the anticipation of their potential reunion at the Comedy Store event. Organizer Alex Muhangi has promised that this year's celebration will be bigger than ever, after a previous postponement due to Ebola concerns.
The event, billed as the biggest comedy and music fusion in Uganda's history, will feature a range of performers, including Rwanda's The Ben, Kenya's Eric Omondi, and Uganda's own Rema, Sheebah, Spice Diana, Fik Fameica, Winnie Nwagi, and Lydia Jazmine. The Comedy Store army, led by Madrat & Chiko, Maulana & Reign, and Salvador, will also take the stage. Hosted by Kalela and Bree, gates will open at 2 PM.
An exclusive Meet & Greet dinner will precede the event on Wednesday, October 29th, at the Kampala Marriott Hotel. Tickets for the event are already selling, with prices ranging from UGX 30,000 for regular tickets to UGX 100,000 for VIP tickets and tables from UGX 1M to 3M. The event promises to be a major reunion for East Africa's entertainment industry.
While organizers have remained tight-lipped about the details, Diamond is known for his showmanship, having dedicated a song to Zari during a 2022 performance. Whether there will be a hug, a handshake, or just three stars watching the same show from different VVIP tables, Kampala will be watching. The Comedy Store's 10th anniversary celebration has become a highly anticipated event.
The event is expected to draw a large crowd, with many eager to see the convergence of Diamond, Zari, and Zuchu. With its star-studded lineup and promise of a dramatic celebrity moment, Comedy Store's 10th anniversary celebration is set to be an unforgettable experience. The event will mark a significant milestone for Uganda's entertainment industry.
