COMEDY: Watch the Official Trailer of Upcoming Sitcom, ‘First Gen’, Starring Yvonne Orji

I couldn’t help but crack up when I saw the trailer for this new show by Nigerian comedienne Yvonne Orji. The show is called “First Gen” and it’s starts with Joanna (the main character), telling her Nigerian immigrant parents she wants to quit medicine to become a comedienne. HA! #firstgen problems. Watch it after the click.

First, official word:

‘First Gen’ is a hilarious new comedy series written by and starring Nigerian-American comedienne Yvonne Orji. It is semi-autobiographical with a storyline that is based loosely on Orji’s real life experience. Orji stars as main protagonist Joanne, a medical student that is chasing her dream of becoming a stand up comedian. At it’s core, First Gen is a comedy about a Nigerian girl who trades medical school for a career in stand-up comedy and the adventures that ensue after her strict African mother discovers her plans. It’s a super funny and refreshing take on the modern day immigrant family.

Watch the trailer below:

Lmao @ Agatha putting up signs around the neighborhood for her eligible daughter! Someone somewhere is saying, “my mom almost did that.”
