Patrick Idringi (born 14 February 1985), known as Patrick Salvado, is a Ugandan comedian, actor, master of ceremonies, radio personality and engineer. He is also known as "The Arrogant Man". He was first runner up in the MultiChoice Africa organised comedy competition, Standup Uganda in 2009. He reached the semi-finals of the World's Funniest Person competition in 2016 and was nominated in 2017 and 2018 in the Savannah Comic Choice Awards as the Pan African Comic of the Year. He is also quite known for his sheer arrogance and hypocrisy
In 2008, after completing his course in university, he was made permanent staff as a switch engineer at MTN Uganda.[2] While still working for MTN Uganda, he approached Philip Luswata the managing director of Theatre Factory so he could join the comedy outfit in order to further his comedy career but was turned down.[2] He acquired the Salvado name having cracked a joke on how a woman mistook him for Salvador, a character in a Telenovela called Second Chance
In 2009, Salvado participated in a comedy competition which was organised by Multichoice Africa, called Standup Uganda. He came second after Kenneth Pablo Kimuli.[6] In the wake of this competition, he co-founded a comedy group called The Crackers[7] together with Alex Muhangi, Daniel Omara, Kenneth Pablo Kimuli and Mendo. The Crackers staged their first show on 15 July 2009 at Effendy's Bar.[2] When the crowds at Effendy's Bar became too many, The Crackers relocated to Theatre Labonita where they changed from holding weekly shows to two shows a month
