JUBA (Reuters) - When Isaac Anthony Lumori launched South Sudan's first weekly comedy show at the height of a civil war in 2014, his performers' quips about different ethnic groups were not always well received.
"They had ... (a) few attacks because of some of the jokes they made," said Lumori, better known by his stage name MC Lumoex, citing one comedian's remarks about the bowel habits of a particular tribe.
