Speaking about the  show, Julius said  “Jokes Apart’ is not a new concept.”

According to him, the show  started in early 90s as “my stage name back in the  University. Then anytime I appeared on stage, I punctuated my performances by saying “Jokes” and the crowd would respond “Apart”.

But when I relocated to Lagos to begin my  career comedy business, I decided to push my family name, Agwu as I already had future plans for the name Jokes Apart.

Going down the memory lane, Julius said “many people will still remember I anchored a programme on NTA known as “Laugh Line” which later changed to ‘Humour on Ice.” That was when the inspiration for “Jokes Apart with Julius Agwu” kicked off.’

Speaking further concerning the new TV programme,  Julius said he wants to be the voice of the people.

“I want to be the voice of the people, as the show will dwell on the  political, social, cultural and economical issues affecting Africa countries using satire.” he added.
