Ugandan Queen of Comedy Anne Kansiime will be the host for the show that is expected to hit television screens next month.

It will be aired on Citizen TV (Kenya), Clouds Media  (Tanzania), Rwanda Broadcasting Agency and NBS TV (Uganda).

Sponsored by Safaricom and Coca Cola Africa, the top East Africa show has already attracted thousands of fans who turned up for the auditions.

“This will be a platform to display the talent of people of all ages who have any gift that they would like to share with the world,” Safaricom chief customer officer Sylvia Mulinge said during the launch in April.

The Guinness World Records recognised the ‘Got Talent’ show as the world’s most successful reality TV formats.

The Nairobi auditions for East Africa’s Got Talent were held at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre on June 1 and 2.

In Mombasa, auditions took place at the Nyali Primary School on May 19.

The show which was founded by British talent competition judge Simon Cowell runs in 58 countries and will now have Kenya, Uganda Tanzania and Rwanda onboard.
