Yvonne Orji’s first-ever comedy special, Yvonne Orji: Momma, I Made It!, is set to be released soon and HBO just teased us with the first trailer!

The standup will feature the Nigerian-American actress and comedian, who is known for her role in Insecure and Night School, hilariously sharing her experiences growing up.

“Interspersed with vibrant, personal footage shot in Nigeria, Yvonne’s native home, during a milestone trip in early January, YVONNE ORJI: MOMMA, I MADE IT! takes an intimate, hilarious look at what being Nigerian-American means to Yvonne – from her international haggling addiction and having her phone tapped by her parents as a kid, to the fine line between cursing people out and putting curses on them,” the show’s official description says.

Filmed before a live audience at the Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C., the special is set to be premiered on HBO on June 6. The special is also written and produced by Orji.

Take a look at the trailer below:
