Nigerian American comedian Yvonne Orji makes her comedy special debut on HBO and HBO Max next month. The comedy special which will air on June 6th, commemorates Yvonne’s birth place Nigeria, while aggregating her unique experiences of being raised in America.
The excited comic took to her Instagram and posted the following:
“Naija made me🇳🇬America raised me🇺🇸
So it was only right that for my first @hbo comedy special, I PUT ON for both of my homes. What a moment it was to bring cameras all the way to Lagos AND deep in the village to get a sneak peak into the family that birth my funny. And then finally bringing it full circle to the DMV and taping in front two sold-out crowds at the Howard Theater. It’s been a LOOOONG journey, but how sweet it is, to finally be able to say, #MOMMAiMadeIt!”
