Kansiime venue announced, Blantyre shows cancelled

Once again, the Bingu International Conference Centre (BICC) is set to make history as it hosts another international show.

This time around, the imposing venue will host Uganda’s Queen of Comedy Annie Kansiime’s Malawi tour next month.

“Initially, Kansiime was supposed to hold shows in Blantyre and Lilongwe on May 17 and 18 respectively. However, the Blantyre show has been cancelled due to lack of venue as all the places we were looking for are fully booked. This means that Kansiime will only perform in Lilongwe and on May 17,” said Qoncept Creative’s creative manager Q Malewezi.

So far, other artists making up for the night have also been announced by the organisers.

“The event will celebrate humour in comedy and other art forms. We are exploring dance, music, poetry and theatrical skits. Music will be provided by Scot Grey, dance by George Zimalirana while Maclean Mbepula and Kennedy Kalua will entertain with poetry. Diana Satha will also be there with others to be confirmed,” explained Q.

So far, sponsors for the event include Kenya Airways, Ulendo Travel Group and Countrywide Car Hire.
