Comedian, Julius Agwu, has said he will soon quit vulgar shows but
not before a one man comedy show tagged, Julius Agwu, Rough Rugged and
Raw. “That show will be for 18 plus and it will be my last vulgar show,” he told Saturday Beats recently. In fact, it was alleged that Agwu’s vulgar joke on a top management
member of staff of a telecommunication company made the company to
blacklist him.
However, Agwu insisted that he never cracked a vulgar joke. He said he was blacklisted based on gossip. “Nigerians thrive on gossip. It is gossip that causes some of the
quarrels we hear about even at the Federal Government level. Somebody
said something to somebody who also said it to another person and I was
blacklisted. But we thank God. We have been eating. The blacklist has
expired. I am sure so many people do not know the root of this matter.
“The chairman was not even at that event. I didn’t make a vulgar
joke. I made a joke and asked why our people always fake their accents
each time they travelled abroad. It wasn’t a bad joke but somebody
misinterpreted it.
“I know I am blunt but I am not unintelligent as to not know what to
say at corporate events. I thank God that I am no longer blacklisted. I
have been invited to be a part of an upcoming show,” he said.
Agwu, however, is painting the nation’s capital red this weekend at his annual Crack ya Ribs.
According to him, this year’s edition will feature comedians like I go Dye, I go Save, Akporoko, Osama.
Powered by Heritage Bank, Agwu said this edition would tell the story
of Nigeria and also give the up and coming comedians an opportunity to
showcase their talents.
Musicians, including Ice Prince and Sean Tizzle, will perform at the show.
