We are so psyched that our much-loved Comedian The Comic recently returned home from his fortnight British tour. But to many people, that probably registers no inkling of social triumph. Flying an airbus to the land of those who oppressed us in the yesteryears now comes easy for almost anyone than it is for five or six ghetto youths to purchase a bottle of the much cherished Two Keys whisky to satiate their weekends’ whims. And yet to us, the Epworthians who share the burden of survival together with him, this is a major stride, especially for a mushrooming creative who just under four years ago was a no idol. Not that we did not find him hilarious then. We ever did indeed. Alas, it took the famous “Shamu” video for the world to take note of his nonesuch, pulpit-inspired humour. The brand that he is now and his ultimate breakthrough lodges the plight of thousands of fellow creatives and other variably gifted Epworthians. Here, one Proud Epworthian torches a light on what it means to be an Epworthian and mostly a creative in Epworth.
