Chicken and Chips is set to premiere its 15-episode new season on NTV on 11th February 2018. The youth edutainment series focuses on relationships and combines music, journalism, and Africa’s first puppet reality show to create a fresh blend of purely Ugandan edutainment, all served on one plate.
Hosted by a charming puppet, Kiki Love (voiced by Ugandan Fun Factory comedian and KFM presenter Tindi), Chicken and Chips brings a new take on timeless topics affecting our daily lives, addresses stereotypes and breaks taboos. Sometimes it takes a puppet to say what people won’t!
Season One introduced a collection of compelling segments, and even added even more in Season Two, including Katwe Corner a recording of unscripted and uncensored live discussions about love, sex, relationship problems and every day issues are brought to life with puppets, Popcorn Video, a trivia, humorur and useful factoids ‘pop up’ in your favourite Ugandan hit videos, Talk of the Town among others.
Chicken and Chips is made in Uganda, with some segments shot in and Tanzania and puppets created by Muppet Show veteran puppeteers in New York. It is truly a one of a kind blend of laughs and food for thought, created for young Ugandans to reflect, engage and enjoy.
