Originally hailing from Nigeria, the Afrobeats capital of the world, Akudo Ejelonu, is an East Coast raised stand-up comedian, sketch writer, improviser, and cool aunt. With low key charisma and fresh wit, she’s performed across the country and the globe in notable festivals. She’s also one half of the producing duo behind the Laff Hour Variety Show and the creator and producer of Hey Girl Hey, all women of color sketch comedy production that debuted at the New York Comedy Festival. She recently hosted and opened for clean comedian and America’s Got Talent finalist, Don McMillan, and musical comedian, Kristin Key’s sold-out comedy tour.

When not producing or traveling, she can be found letting out her inner child or telling tales about stranger encounters in theaters, clubs, and questionable bus stops. Or, failing that, you can find her hiding from her nieces and nephews. (Shh, don’t tell them!) You can always find her on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.
