DESCRIPTION OF PIECE

In this show, “anxious Black nerd” Amma Marfo deftly explores dating fatigue, self-acceptance, and what it looks like to live a life full of love - while giving her swiping thumb a rest.

This funny, insightful, relatable, and occasionally emotional show will appeal to fans of The New York Times’ Modern Love column, Blythe Roberson’s How to Date Men When You Date Men, and Lane Moore’s You Will Find Your People.


ABOUT THE ARTIST
​​
After years of writing about comedy, Amma decided to take to the stage – on the nudge of a dare set for her by her podcast co-hosts. In the years since, she’s developed an “anxious Black nerd” persona that creates a unique take on current events, life as a thirtysomething, and pop culture.

Her debut half hour, “Enjoy Your Nachos,” was released in February 2023; later that year, The Boston Globe named it one of the best specials of the year with Boston roots.
