Timeline

2020

In 2020, Bugingo raised money to launch the career of up-and-coming artist Razor Blade Lutabalala.

2019

In February 2019, The Uganda Comedians Association (TUCA) was formed and Bugingo was elected as the founding president, while promising to wipe out vulgarity from the comedy industry. As TUCA head, he wrote to president Yoweri Museveni to push for enforcement of copyright law to protect the works of Ugandan artists.

In January 2019, the government of Uganda proposed a bill suggesting every artist should be registered under the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development. In that proposed bill, every artist had to first get authorization from the ministry before shooting a video. Bugingo had this to say about it: "We are not trying to fight the government; neither are we saying that all points highlighted in the bill are wrong. But as artistes, we were not represented well. Our biggest problems are not performing for more than two hour or drugs, but copyright. The government will definitely earn much if they pass this bill, but what is in for us artistes?"

In March 2019, Bugingo was inducted into the Rotary Club of Kampala Munyonyo.

2003

Towards his second year of university, Bugingo went to Mbale to do his practical exams. "We were performing a play titled The Bear and I was the lead actor. The audience applauded me quite a lot.

When they went back to Kampala, Bugingo, together with Phillip Luswata, Kwezi Kaganda, Farouq Twesigye, Frobisha Lwanga, Faith Kimuli, and Julius Lugaya met and formed Theatre Factory. The group's first performance was in mid-September 2003 in front of only fifteen people, comprising the owner and staff members of his workplace.
