Veteran Nigerian celebrity Charly Boy, 64, has shared his thoughts on comedian Julius Agwu's show 'Life As I See It' on February 14 at Transcorp Hilton.
In an article written by the eccentric entertainer he expressed his opinion about Julius Agwu's comedy show, and said it felt like a Pentecostal service.

Charly Boy while
admitting the show had it's high moments said that Julius Agwu turned
the event into a church service and did not acknowledge people of
different faiths came from the show.
You can read his full article about the show below;
"Julius
Agwu is my friend and a brother, one of the many comedians I have
encouraged in their careers through the years. When I lost my buddy, my
father, he was there to give me all the moral support I needed. I love
Julius as much as some great Nigerian comedians, artistes and actors
that have passed through the University of CharlyBoyism, who are now
doing pretty well in their respective fields.
I was at my guy’s LIFE AS I SEE IT show with my family at the Transcorp Hilton Abuja on February 14, 2016.
Mehnnnn, was I bored to tears!!!
First
of all, the show that was billed to start at 4pm didn’t start till
around 8.30pm, and wouldn’t you expect that such a show already starting
so late would compensate the audience by blowing off the roof with
powerful rib-crackers back to back? For where!
I wasn’t sure whether we were at a musical/comedy show or in a pentecostal revival ground.
We
had trickles of respite when other artistes did their thing but each
time Julius came up, it was like he was on a mission to convert us
sinners in the hall. He kept preaching, oblivious of many people’s
disapproval, boredom and disgust for turning a comedy show into a
sermonized gospel rant and chant. Kai!
I
understand what my brother must have gone through when he had to be
flown abroad for his brain surgery. As he told me before the show
started, “Charly, I almost died, I was actually being wheeled to the
mortuary before God’s intervention”. I am sure all that incident must
have been very traumatic for my dear friend who felt he had to give
thanks to the Lord for keeping him alive. Yes o, I agree, we all need to
constantly do that because without God’s grace and mercy, who for dey
alive? So praise The Lord…Halleluyah!!!!

However,
the fact remains that people came there for the sole purpose of
laughter, not to be preached at, after-all, the Christians in the
building would have gone to Church earlier that day, being a Sunday.
Abi?
We had people of different
religions, denominations: Muslims, Crossbearers, Bhuddists, even
Atheists in the hall that night, who didn’t come to worship but to be
entertained.
As I peered into some people’s faces, I could read their strong objection and disdain about how the night was turning out.
Julius should have been sensitive, biko.
There
were a few high points of the show though, when the likes of Bovi and
Akpororo took control of the microphone. They were good! Very good.
My
dear brother, it is good to have a grateful heart when the Lord
delivers one from the jaws of death, but a comedy show is not a revival
and the people in the hall can’t all be Christians.
There
are many people also that the Lord has saved, giving thanks therefore,
should be a personal thing with your Maker; don’t get it twisted with
comedy.
I felt ripped off.
(Charly Boy )
God has
also saved people like us and we are grateful for what He has done in
our lives, but we don’t go round terrorising people with Bible verses
and the word of God.
And just in case you
want to start your own church, all well and good for you but biko,
don’t do it on the heels of people who have paid their hard earned money
to watch a comedy show, either alone or with family and friends.
My brother, I no yab you o, I just advice you as my person. Next time let the comical genius in you come out not the preacher."
Last week Charly Boy wrote a sweet note to ladies for Valentine's Day.
