THE REAL DON ANDRE EXPOSED.
During
the interview I asked him some questions and number
ten will blow your mind.
QUESTION: When was the first time you ever discovered your talent as a
comedian?
DON ANDRE: Well personally I had no idea stand
–up comedy existed and comedy as a whole, I always just knew I should make
people laugh and life goes on. Until my mum and friends started suggesting I
should try out comedy.
QUESTION: Who was the first person you
told about your passion for comedy and what was their reaction?
DON ANDRE: Honestly I was scared to tell anyone,
am a very low key person, I knew If I expressed my passion to anyone they would
discourage me. So I went in first and started it and then I told my friends
about it.
QUESTION: what was your family’s
reaction when you told them about pursuing comedy as a career?
DON ANDRE: I didn’t tell them myself, they found
out from a family friend who had watched a video clip of mine and showed them
.All I used to do was ask them for transport and say there’s something I am
chasing in town. But since then they have been so supportive 100%
QUESTION: What challenges did you face
as a newbie in the Ugandan industry and
how did you overcome them?
DON ANDRE: As a newbie no one believes in you
yet deep down you know you are Africa’s best hahahaa. It’s a big challenge
because you need people to believe in you before you step on a platform.
QUESTION: How long does it take for you
to get prepared enough to hit the stage and perform?
DON ANDRE: Stand-up comedy needs a lot
preparation because you are going on stage to impress hundreds of stressed
strangers from work who paid to be happy haahaa.so you need to be having a well
rehearsed set to impress and it’s for your own good as a comedian. Because you
wouldn’t want to go and deliver shaky jokes.
QUESTION: Which foreign country did you first perform
in?
DON ANDRE: It was Kenya, not so foreign though
its next door but it counts lol.
QUESTION: Do you ever get stage
fright?
DON ANDRE: Oh yes! I get frightened all the time
before going onstage however small it is. The nerves keep running because you know
it’s time to work.
QUESTION: Have you ever experienced
something so bad in your career that almost made you give up and walk away?
DON ANDRE: I have had pretty bad experiences but
none of them are enough for me to quit stand-up comedy. May be if I can’t talk
any more haahaaha. I could still use facial expressions even then lol.
QUESTION: If you ever had your own
comedy show what would you call it?
DON ANDRE: That’s a hard one... I would give it
a cheesy name let’s say Giggles comedy
club
QUESTION: What was your reaction when
you first met Ann Kansiime?
DON ANDRE: When I 1st met Ann Kansiime I was like damn!! Am

each day.

performer that night.
