American comedian and writer Demi Adejuyigbe brings his unique brand of humor to the stage in his show “Demi Adejuyigbe Is Going to Do One (1) Backflip.” Known for his work on the sitcom The Good Place, Adejuyigbe weaves together a series of absurd and hilarious sketches, leading up to the promise of a backflip that may or may not happen.
Using a variety of resources such as PowerPoint, musical theatre, and audience interaction, Adejuyigbe keeps the audience on their toes as he navigates through his five-part system, all while waiting to see if his crush will show up to witness the backflip. The show is filled with unexpected surprises, from a meta-parody of We Didn’t Start the Fire to a proposal for a new brand of racism.
Bringing irreverence, incongruity, and restless invention to the stage, Adejuyigbe’s hour-long show is a non-stop rollercoaster of laughter. From a fatherly phone call from an ex-president to a hijacking by a loose-cannon computer companion, the audience is constantly surprised and delighted by the creative and light-hearted nature of the performance.
Ultimately, there is no need for Adejuyigbe to apologize for the frivolousness or evasiveness of his show. With its ingenious and inventive humor, “Demi Adejuyigbe Is Going to Do One (1) Backflip” is simply great fun that doesn’t require justification.
