Birungi is a Ugandan comedian based out of Seattle, Washington. Although he initially moved to America for college, he quickly found a different way to fall into debt – stand up comedy! Within 5 years of performing, he has hit stages in multiple cities including Olympia, Bellingham, Portland, Denver, Boston, Phoenix, San Diego and Los Angeles. He has been featured on the “Best of the Fest” list at the Burbank Comedy Festival. Birungi also had the privilege of opening for DL Hughley (Original Kings of Comedy) at the Parlor Comedy club in Bellevue, an experience he describes the highlight of his comedy career.
In this episode, the two comics talk about: Birungi's experience growing up in Uganda (9:00), how geopolitical history shaped his future (23:05), and his transition moving to America (43:00).
