Such an honor and privilege to have 1/3 of one of the best improv teams in the city, Branded Silk (@brandedsilk), on #NoSuggestionPod, actress, singer, producer, and improv comedian, Onyi Okoli (@onyiokoli)! Jake Joseph (@f00lish_b0y) and I had such a wonderful time with Onyi at Radio Free Brooklyn studios chatting about being a raw vegan, forbidden stories of being a property manager, how being a comedian and having a day job affects your circadian rhythm, the culture shock of moving from predominately black Baltimore to go to USC for theater and how that led Onyi to produce and direct shows for black students while there, growing up with a Nigerian dad and an African American mom, and more!We also got some wildly ridiculous improv scenes this week, including a scene about an unassuming parking lot attendant trying to validate the parking of a very sexually charged pair on a first date. I laughed so hard recording this episode, ya'll!So grateful to finally get Onyi on the show. I've been trying to get her to come on for more than a year, but she's so sought after as a performer and a teacher at Brooklyn Comedy Collective (@comedybrooklyn). I have to say though, this episode is worth the wait. Follow Onyi and pull up to BCC to check out Branded Silk.And if you enjoy this episode, please rate and subscribe, and tell a friend!
