Energetic, and amiable natured Ugandan comedian; Kansiime Anne has won Best Actress 2013 at the Lagos International Film Festival Awards.
Kensiime`s award is clear evidence that women can embark into anything and excel as the stand up comedy industry is male dominated and seem no woman can prosper in it.
“She is testimony that women can really be funny and if you haven’t seen her deliver her jokes then you probably haven’t had a good laugh in a while,” said Christine W. Wanjala, one of her many fans.
This comes hardly a month after Kansiime won the Best Comedian award at the BEFFTA 2013 Awards held in London in October.
The hilariously funny Kansiime Anne was born and raised in Uganda and her comedy skits are in both her native Swahili language and some in English.
The 27 year old actress attributes her antics on stage to heredity stating that she has been told she is a carbon copy of her mom in her 20’s.
In her second year at Makerere University, Kansiime joined Theatre Factory, the pioneer comedy outfit in Kampala that targeted a corporate audience.
Her star has risen over the years, moving with Fun Factory when Theatre Factory split, and becoming a YouTube comedy sensation of sorts.
Today, she seems to be all over the place, a thing for which she has but a very simple explanation.
