Amusements by Ikechukwu Ufomadu
Winner: Vulture's Comedians You Should Know (2022). Winner: Drama Desk Award (2018).

He can be seen in the Oscar-nominated film, Judas and the Black Messiah, Los Espookys (HBO), Three Busy Debras, Joe Pera Talks To You (Adult Swim) and has written for Ziwe (Showtime). 'You don't want to miss him before he becomes a household name' (Time Out New York).
