Yvonne Orji’s energy is contagious. The 36-year-old star of Insecure is a vibrant presence onscreen—her witty, confident, and wildly unlucky in love character, Molly Carter is endlessly watchable—but away from the cameras, Orji is even funnier. A standup comedian before landing her role on Issa Rae’s HBO hit, Orji returns to her roots this week with a standup special, Momma, I Made It. A compelling mix of travelogue and belly laugh-inducing social commentary, the special showcases the full range of Orji’s talents. Whether she’s guiding her audience through the art of haggling at a market in Lagos or sharing the story of her mother’s reaction to her Hollywood aspirations, she delivers each beat with rapid-fire humor that brings viewers deeper into her world. Many first-generation Americans can relate to her jokes—which are grounded in her own experiences—that merge the personal and the universal.
The unapologetically Nigerian perspective of Orji’s special is deliberate. “For me, it’s a love letter, it’s a tale of two cities and a tribute to my two homes,” shared Orji on the phone from Los Angeles. The homes she’s referring to are her birthplace of Port Harcourt in Rivers State, Nigeria and her hometown of Laurel, Maryland. Raised in a close knit Nigerian family, Orji originally planned on being a doctor and has a masters degree from George Washington University to prove it. Inspired to give comedy a try after entering a beauty pageant and having to settle on a skill for the talent portion, she incorporates aspects of her unique road to the entertainment industry into her act.
