Patrick ‘Salvado’ Idringi’s “Man from Ombokolo” show is back, and it is promising even more rib cracking jokes than the last time. And to rev things up, The Singleton is joining in on the party.
Regarded the world’s best tasting and fastest growing single malt whisky, The Singleton has announced sponsorship of the second edition of Salvado’s one-man performance, which is slated to take place on Friday October 27, 2017 at the Imperial Royale Hotel in Kampala.
“The Singleton experience is one of crafting immediately pleasurable whisky experiences and an evening with the country’s leading comedian, Salvado is a guarantee of laughter and pleasure. On behalf of UBL, I am pleased to announce that we will be sponsoring this year’s edition of Man from Ombokolo. We are looking forward to a Friday night of laughter while sipping on the smooth, fruity Speyside richness of The Singleton,” said Annette Nakiyaga, Head of Whisky Portfolio at Uganda Breweries.
“The most pleasurable whisky moments go beyond the liquid. The Singleton forms creative collectives with the most talented crafts people to forge unforgettable experiences and Salvado is one of the most talented people of our time,” Nakiyaga added.
Salvado, one of the continent’s top comedians, blazed a trail in June 2015 when he staged the first-ever one-man comedy show in Uganda, earning rave reviews after a stellar performance at a sold-out venue. Since then Salvado has gone on to scale even bigger heights and is currently part of Glo Laffta Fest, a comedy tour in Nigeria. Salvado is the only comedian from outside the West African state participating in the tour.
He has also received numerous award nominations this year from Uganda and abroad, with the most notable being a nomination in the Savannah Comics Choice Awards in South Africa, where he made it to the top five.
“Fans coming to Man from Ombokolo should expect a show filled with discussions on topical issues, but with a comical element to them. Since it is going to be a VIP show, we only have one standard fee, which is Shs100,000 and Shs3m for VVIP seating,” Salvado explained.
Nakiyaga added that the VVIP seating comes with a bottle of The Singleton of Dufftown and she is eager to convert first time drinkers.
“The Singleton simplifies the language of Single Malts to open doors for new drinkers. It is made of taste, so expect pleasure from the first sip,” she says.
Tickets to the show are available at Easy Ticket points, and major Shell stations at locations around Kampala.
