National Theatre

There’s a quality program of music, film, dance and drama performances in the theatre itself, but most travellers come here for the popular, free nightly outdoor events. Grab a beer and a chair and catch an informal open-stage jam on Monday evenings, African drumming on Tuesdays or comedy night (USh10,000) at 8pm on Thursdays, where the merriment comes in a mix of English and Luganda. Check schedule online for events other nights.
