BEVERLY HILLS, May 30, (THEWILL) – Fans of multi-talented entertainer, Julius Agwu, have been wondering about his whereabouts. The talented comedian’s sudden disappearance from the entertainment scene is giving many of those who enjoy his rib-cracking jokes cause for anxiety. Agwu had a brain surgery that almost claimed his life in 2015. He has since continued to maintain a very low profile. He attempted to resuscitate his career in 2020 by staging another edition of ‘Crack ya ribs,’ his annual comedy concert across the country and disclosed his plan to celebrate 25 years in comedy. Unfortunately, that dream didn’t see the light of day.
In 2019, the veteran comedian also attempted to stage his comedy show in London, but the date clashed with that of the king of comedy in Nigeria, Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, a.k.a Ali Baba. Both shows had been scheduled for the same day and they had to jostle for the attention of the same audience. After that episode, nothing was heard about the humour merchant again. Findings, however, reveal that Agwu has not only quit the comedy scene, but also the social media. All his social media handles were last updated about a year ago.
According to a reliable source close to the comedian, Agwu is hale and hearty and still in the country, contrary to the rumour that he has relocated abroad. The comedian, the source claimed, is just obeying his doctor’s instruction to avoid stress by all means. That is why he is shunning social activities and concentrating on other areas of interest just to keep body and soul together. We gathered that one of his dreams is to stage a campaign for Christian entertainers in the country, a decision he made after turning a new leaf when he recovered from the ailment that almost claimed his life.
