Ikechukwu Ufomadu - the “gentleman-scholar of alt-comedy” (New York Magazine) - invites you to a rigorously nonsensical evening of comic absurdity. With a unique mix of words, songs, two books, one cup of tea, a slide show and more, “Amusements” promises to defy genre while operating safely within the bounds of international law.
Ikechukwu Ufomadu is an Emmy-nominated and Drama Desk Award-winning actor, writer and comedian, named a “Comedian You Should and Will Know” by Vulture/New York Magazine and a “Comic to Look Out For” by Time Out New York. His one-man show, Amusements, premiered at Playwrights Horizons in New York after being workshopped at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to sell-out audiences and strong reviews. Ike co-wrote and stars in the indie comedy feature Inspector Ike (BRIC/Factory 25), praised as a “cult classic in the making”. He also co-wrote and stars in the short-form series Words with Ike (FX) which was recognized with an Emmy nomination for Best Actor in a Short Form Series.
Ike has written for the late-night series Ziwe (Showtime) as well as for the Emmy-nominated Tooning Out the News (Paramount+). As an actor, he can be seen in the Oscar-nominated Judas and the Black Messiah (Warner Bros), Los Espookys (HBO), and most recently in the 2024 Sundance hit Your Monster.
