Inside Details Of About To Air Yvonne Orji’s New Comedy Special ‘A Whole Me’

Award-winning Nigerian-American comedian Yvonne Orji will take centre stage on M-Net when her new HBO comedy special, “Yvonne Orji: A Whole Me”, premieres on DStv. It will air on M-Net West (ch 101) and 1Magic on October 29th and 30th, respectively.

Yvonne Orji took to comedy after needing a talent for a beauty pageant. She now entertains international audiences, as seen in her debut one-hour HBO comedy special, “Momma, I Made It,” and her recent special, “A Whole Me.”

“A Whole Me” builds on the success of her first HBO 2020 special, “Momma, I Made It!” which included a video of her trip to Nigeria. “A Whole Me” takes off where she left off, delving deeper into the complexities of her Nigerian culture as she presents it to the world — including the talent in front of and behind the camera. It focuses on her changing opinions on friendship, dating, adulting, and why men need better friends, all of which she addresses in therapy.

Speaking on the comedy special, Yvonne Orji said, “I think it’s bringing the most authentic version of myself. That’s why the special is called ‘A Whole Me’. This is the new me, that was birthed in isolation, built on growth, refined through hurt, curated from introspection, and perfected by healing. The old me met the new me and became a whole me.”

Commenting on the comedy special, Busola Tejumola, Executive Head of Content and West Africa Channels at MultiChoice Nigeria, said, “It’s always a thrilling effort when we can support Nigerian talents, whether locally or in the diaspora. Yvonne Orji has done a brilliant job bringing this special together, and if it’s anything like the first, we know it will be hilarious. We expect Nigerians to have a great time watching ‘A Whole Me’, and it’s just one more way for us to show that entertaining our audiences is our number one priority.”
