'CRACK YA RIBS' TO MARK 12TH ANNIVERSARY IN ABUJA
Illustrious entertainer, Julius Agwu will on September 30th storm Transcorp Hilton Abuja for the 2012 edition of the annual Crack Ya Ribs show.
With the great turnouts of the show in America and Europe this year with impressive line-up of entertainers, residents of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and environs are in for great surprises.
For over a decade, Crack Ya Ribs has always been an exhilarating night of sophisticated music, dance and comedy that has featured some of the best entertainers in the music industry like D'Banj, Timaya, P-Square, 9ice and others.
Entertainers billed to perform at Crack Ya Ribs Abuja are Timaya, Inyanya, Funny Bone, Senator, I Go Die, Dan D'Humorous, Osama and Tripple White. As always, Julius Agwu will play his role as the host of the show with his rib cracking jokes.
Speaking concerning the Abuja concert, Julius said "the Abuja edition of this year's Crack Ya Ribs is my independence gift to Nigerians as we return after the summer tour. Not forgetting the fact that this year marks 12 years of Crack Ya Ribs and it has been repackaged with some fresh ideas to keep the brand going.
We have made it bigger by turning it to the event to a Pan-African event and that informed why there were performances from Ghanaian leading music and comedy stars at the London show. With our current plans for the Abuja show, lovers of quality entertainment are in for a good time".
After hosting the show annually for over a decade in London, Crack Ya Ribs held for the first time this year in Glasgow, New York, Dallas and Houston. Crack Ya Ribs once held in Atlanta and the massive yearning for the return of the show to America brought about the three cities tour in America.
Having earned his stripes as far entertainment business is concerned; Julius Agwu remains one of the most sought after comedians in Africa. His comedy concerts are always hilarious and fun filled.
