The show used to happen every Wednesday but this year, it changed to once a month and completely stopped at a certain point.
The founder Alex Muhangi didn’t say anything about it, he slowly started another show of a smaller venue. It doesn’t bring in so many people like comedy store but it’s sizable.
As a big fan of comedy, singer Bebe Cool said he reached out to Alex Muhangi to ask him what happened.
He was surprised when Muhangi told him that URA (Uganda Revenue Authority) was over-taxing him. Apparently, he had nothing to do but stop working.
According to Bebe Cool, it was devastating that a person like Alex Muhangi who was giving young talents an opportunity was shut down just like that.
“I don’t know why URA doesn’t understand certain things. It is very sad that some businesses are closing because of them. When comedy store stopped working, I called Alex Muhangi and asked him about it. He said the main reason is because of URA. They are over-taxing him and he is not gaining anything from the show,” Bebe Cool said
The singer asked Muhangi to write everything on paper. He will take it directly to President Museveni so that he could be excused.
