Julius ready to quit vulgar jokes

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.
