Ikechukwu Ufomadu

Utterly unique in the comedy world, Ikechukwu Ufomadu creates performances blurring the line between stand-up comedy, classic variety shows, and performance art--slyly subversive, but also warm and welcoming, bringing everybody along for a surprising and hilarious evening. “Waggishly charming...with a confidence as big as all outdoors.” (Time Out New York)
