Yvonne Orji: Momma, I Made It!
In her first HBO comedy special, Yvonne Orji, better known as Molly from Insecure, has the audience rolling with laughter as she brings her razor-sharp wit and confidence to the stage. Both celebrating and poking fun at her strict, formative Nigerian-American upbringing, Yvonne shares her unique journey from pre-med to comedy, talks about parental pressures to get married, and takes us along to Lagos to meet her family and friends.
IndieWire calls it “a rip-roaring standup special,” while Fast Company says it’s “the laugh the black community needs right now.”
