SUNDAY 1ST NOVEMBER! Human Safari is a stand up comedy show that examines human behaviour through the perspective of a wildlife scientist. Onojie Idemudia uses observations from the animal world as a framework for exploring the habits, rituals and social behaviours of humans.
The show moves between observational comedy, personal experiences and audience interaction, drawing comparisons between human behaviour and that of other species. Topics include dating, relationships, family, masculinity, culture, social behaviour and the experience of navigating life in Britain as a Nigerian born man.
