Next Media in Partnership with Sheer Solutions launch  “The Comic” 

Next Media Services is pleased to announce an important partnership of co-operation between NBS TV and Sheer Solutions.

The partnership is aimed at boosting the stand of comedy on the Ugandan market. This is going to benefit young upcoming comedians.

‘The Comic’ is a fresh market product that will identify new talent in Uganda from the various categories of comedy through an audition, this shall later translate into a competitive process that will result into a fully-fledged comedy TV show that will air on NBS TV after the winners are announced.

Unlike the music industry that has multiple platforms to uplift talent, comedy lacks these kinds of platforms to pave way for fresh young talent. NBS TV and Sheer Solutions have come together to provide an opportunity for upcoming comedians to showcase their talent hence the idea of a talent show that is built from scratch.

With this partnership, we believe we shall rejuvenate the Ugandan comedy industry which has slowed down due to the absence of a platform to give to young, fresh and upcoming comedians.

On The Comic, eligible comedians will have the opportunity to battle for a car and a cash price.
