Amusements
Peter Jay Sharp Theater
Written and performed by
Ikechukwu Ufomadu
Directed by Nemuna Ceesay
Emmy-nominated comedian Ikechukwu Ufomadu seeks to provide you, the audience, with the finest Amusements he can muster. Watch as this actor, entertainer and avant-garde soothsayer pursues this goal with serene diligence, defying genre while operating within the bounds of international law. His signature use of the time-tested tools of words, music, and light multimedia are sure to usher you oh-so-gently into a haze of mirthful absurdity.
Ikechukwu Ufomadu's Amusements, Alexandra Tatarsky's Sad Boys in Harpy Land, and Milo Cramer's School Pictures will be performed in rotation throughout November.

“The jokes are MARVELOUSLY BIZARRE! Amusements isn’t just stand-up and it isn’t just send-up; IT’S WHAT EVERYTHING STRANGE AND WORTHWHILE IS — both, and more, and something else entirely.”
— Sara Holdren, Vulture“Ikechukwu Ufomadu has a knack for turning traditional entertainment formats upside-down.”
— Zachary Stewart, TheaterMania
