My black friends in America don't believe me. I said, 'Dude, I'm Nigerian American.' 'Word? We thought you were, like, regular black.' What the hell is 'regular black'? Crayola coming out with colors I don't know about?

I'm still trying to understand the wearing off high heels at the airport.

I observe everything around me and when something hits me and it's funny, that's what I talk about. I'm a more observational kind of comic.

I am not a model the camera just went off by itself

I think the audience should take away that it's okay to be smart, it's okay to be funny and well-learned. You can be from academia and be funny; you don't have to be an idiot.

But there's times when I like to find the strange angles to something. People go, 'I heard a lot of jokes like that, but that's one of the most interesting takes I heard.' That's what I try to do.

That's what I take pride in in my stand-up, is changing things up. Being special.
