The comedy show has been made possible by Soul Food Events, which brought Ugandan comedienne, Anne Kansiime last year. The company also hosted a number of shows such as the Soul Food Comedy Nights.

Musa who is optimistic that the event will open doors for female representation in the comedy industry, said Queens of Comedy would be an annual event that will see more female comedians taking part.
