Ilo Ya Play - One Man Comedy with Segun Lafup

“Ìlọ Yá”… the journey begins. Utopia Theatre is proud to be staging this brilliant one man comedy show at the Creative Hub in Sheffield.

Come and watch this new play written and performed by Capetown based award-winning Nigerian stand-up comedian, actor and theatre producer, Oluwasegun Lafup Ogundipe.

This one man play captures the hilarious tale of Mokan, a young Nigerian who tries to navigate different challenges on his way to achieve 'The Nigerian Dream'.

Lafup creates a comical exploration of Mokan’s challenges and obstacles as he tries to achieve his goals at home while contemplating migration.

This experimental theatre piece is laced with relatable themes that many Africans in diaspora can connect with. Facing setbacks, heartbreak and ultimately finding one’s way in a new country. This performance brings the Lagos-city life closer to theatre lovers this summer.
