Join Transform for this solo performance by Ahamefule J. Olu. This is a meeting point between jazz and stand-up comedy - where darkly humorous true stories about other people are mixed with haunting soundscapes.

Uplifting and bleak, deep and silly, a musical score is created live, electronically looping clarinet, trumpet and everyday objects.

This final piece in an acclaimed trilogy of works inverts the formula of the first two pieces – of autobiographical anecdotes and large ensembles – with stories about other people, other places, and other times set to intimate solo soundscapes that seem to emerge from thin air.

Ahamefule J. Oluo (they/them) is an acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, composer, writer, comedian, and creator of live performance.

‘Oluo manages to expand the stand-up autobiography format to dizzying proportions’ – Ben Brantley, The New York Times
