Patrick Salvado crowns himself African Comedy Giant, Ugandans react

Patrick ‘Salvador’ Idringi

Ugandan comedian, Patrick ‘Salvador’ Idringi on Wednesday took to his official Twitter page to boast that he is the “African comedy giant” in a tweet that has since attracted mixed reactions from his followers and netizens.

While some of them rushed to the comments section to endorse the title, others trolled him.

Some Ugandans told the comedian to stop overrating himself, advising him to work towards improving his craft while others branded him ‘Acholi Comedy Giant’ in a series of rib-cracking tweets.

“I am an African Comedy Giant,” Salvado tweeted.

The comedian recently had a successful stand-up show in Arua hours before sending the tweet that has since turned controversial.

“Patrick don’t overrate yourself in Africa. Your comedy may be entertaining to some people, it teaches no moral lesson to viewers and doesn’t shed light on ‘e subjects; Comedy goes beyond making people laugh. Use your craft to address societal issues and help make the world a better place,” one Asha replied to the comedian’s tweet.

“Acholi comedy giant. Don’t peep where you haven’t reached,” a tweet from Byekwaso, a Twitter user reads.

However, the comedian also had hundreds of tweeps endorsing his claim of being Africa’s comedy giant. In the mix, some netizens took the tweet as a joke, since the self-styled Man From Ombokolo is a comedian who jokes his way to the bank.

“I agree entirely. The African English comedy.  Then for African Luganda goes to Amooti,” one Andrew Agaba commented.

Meanwhile, NMG’s Gabriel Buule lauded him for dreaming big before seeking God’s blessings. “You are right to dream big, may God bless your plans,” he said.
