In Ike at Night, remarkable comic performer Ikechukwu Ufomadu, described as the son that Woody Allen and Frank Sinatra never had, hosts a late-night talk show in front of a live studio audience - you. Each night is a completely different and brand-new mix of comedy, music and interviews. With sold-out runs at Brooklyn venue JACK in 2014 and The Public Theater's Under the Radar Festival in 2015, the show features Jonathan Jacobs aka The Vintage DJ as 'bandleader' and B. Brian Argotsinger as Ike's sidekick. The show has welcomed special guests including comedian John Hodgman; entertainer Reggie Watts; Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams; photographer and MacArthur Fellow Carrie Mae Weems; five-time OBIE Award-winner David Greenspan; and many more.
How to Live on Earth is a haunting new play about our unrelenting obsession with the next frontier and the desire to give your life for something greater than yourself. Inspired in part by the Mars One project to colonize Mars by 2025 - this piece is a funny, wry, and deeply truthful portrait of the fears and hopes that drive us towards exploration and expansion.
Ikechukwu Ufomadu's talk show send-up is sluggishly paced.
