My fellow Stamptownies should be aware that one of our own has reached the big screen. 

Ikechukwu Ufomadu is a mainstay at Zach Zucker’s Jack Tucker’s Stamptown spectaculars, and he brought a fuller-length version of his act to Playwrights Horizons last season under the name Amusements.

The new movie Your Monster lets him unleash his comedic persona onto a wider audience, in the type of supporting turn that defines the tone of every single one of his scenes, a sign that his humor can translate well beyond off-off-Broadway.

Stop reading here until after you see Your Monster.

I’m serious, this is your final spoiler warning.

We good?

Cool.

Soooooo. . . she’s certifiable for the whole movie, ya?

Obviously “IT WAS ALL IN HER HEAD” is a cliche, and even though the final sequence could be merely a musical fantasy, methinks the concluding murder actually happens. 

Which means: the movie is actually about a mentally-deranged lady’s relationship with a figment of her imagination, who ultimately leads her to kill a former lover in the middle of an opening night performance on Broadway, and then sing a song standing next to his corpse on stage in front of a sold-out house. . .

Which is the sort of joke you’d hear at  a Stamptown show.
