Event promoter, Karabo Musa, said that Soulfood Comedy settled on bringing Anne to Botswana because she is a super power when it comes to comedy.
She stated that they wanted Batswana to see the top comedian perform live.
“Kansiime Anne is an international award-winning comedian and has survived and stood out in a male dominated field of comedy. That alone speaks volumes about who she is and what she does,” she said.
She added that at the moment Anne is amongst the number one entertainers in Africa.
Through bringing Anne to Botswana, Musa pointed out that they hope Batswana will get to see and appreciate that comedy can be a way of life that one survives through.
She added that Botswana has not yet reached the stage where they can export comedy as a means that can bring money into the country.
Musa said that they have split the show into two and that Batswana will see Kansiime performance the first night as an open show and the second night, a corporate affair. The corporate event is set to take place at Thapong Visual Arts Centre.
Upcoming local comedians as well as poets Mandisa Mabuthoe, Aether and Rae Lyric amongst others will support Anne.
Tickets will go on sale from Monday at Shoprite Computicket. Opening night tickets are P200 and P500 for the corporate event.
