What do you know about Julius Agwu? Agwu, though a famed comedian,
actor and musician has written an
autobiography to give the public even
more insight into his life. Rainbow Book Club (RBC), through its
book-of-the-month series, is highlighting his book: Jokes Apart – How
Did I Get Here? for the month of June.
The public is invited to buy the book, available for purchase at the Rainbow Book Club office, and to attend a discussion of it at Le Meridien, Ogeyi Place, at 11am on Friday, June 28th, 2013.
Having made his living in the entertainment circuit for well over a decade, hosting comedy shows, acting, making comedy albums, etc., Julius Agwu celebrated his 40th birthday on April 7, 2013 with a launch of Jokes Apart, which documents his life as a child, his coming of age, and his realization of a major gift he has: the ability to make people laugh.
The book, edited by award-winning poet and writer Toni Kan, is jam-packed with funny segments in tandem with sobering parts. Readers thus have a chance to look behind the scenes to better acquaint themselves with the acclaimed funnyman.
The former University of Porharcourt Theatre Arts student is married with a daughter. Mr. Agwu is one of the guests expected at this year’s Port Harcourt Book Festival (formerly known as Garden City Literary Festival) that will take place on the 21st to the 26th of October.
The Port Harcourt Book Festival draws hundreds of literary enthusiasts to the Garden City yearly to participate in this event which comprises a book fair, writers workshops, diverse literary forums, a symposium, drama performances and other cultural displays.
