On the “City Lights” series “Speaking of Comedy,”Atlanta’s funniest locals share insights on the perks and perils of their profession. This edition features Atlanta-based comedian Wellington Ojuwku.

“The number one thing that inspires my comedic voice is absurdity. People, actions, things, situations. My voice is a range of all kinds of emotions from frustration, joy, delight, moderate anger. If I got a strong connection to it emotionally, I’m talking about it,” says Ojukwu.

Ojukwu regularly performs standup in the Atlanta circuit and can be caught next at the West End Comedy Festival on Feb 3.
