Patrick Salvador  Controversies, 

After announcing his weekly comedy show called Just Comedy at Kingdom Hall Kampala in December, 2019, many people assumed that the show was directly meant to compete with his fellow comedian Alex Muhangi's weekly show dubbed Comedy Store.

The two "brothers" used to collaborate while Alex Muhangi was still running his Comedy store at Diners Lounge in Bukoto, but they eventually split up.

Fans assumed that their feud was still ongoing until Alex Muhangi attended one of Salvador's shows at Kingdom Hall Kampala and received VIP treatment along with the other three people who escorted him.
