|}}Naomi Ekperigin is an actor, comedian, and television writer. She has written for the television shows Great News and Broad City.[1]

Early life

Ekperigin was born and raised in Harlem,[2] with a father from Nigeria and a mother from Detroit.[2] She attended the Dalton School, where she was one of six black students in a class of 118,[2] and graduated from Wesleyan University in 2005.[3] In college, Ekperigin began performing comedy, doing improv.[4]

Career

After graduating from college, Ekperigin spent a year touring with the National Theatre for the Deaf,[4] and she returned to New York in 2007 where she got a start doing stand-up while working a day job at an art magazine.[2][9] When that magazine folded in 2013, Ekperigin found a position working as a writer's assistant for Broad City.[2] She was promoted to staff writer in the show's second season and served as a writer on season 3 as well.

In 2015, Ekperigin was a nominee, with the Broad City writing staff, for the Comedy Series.[5] Splitsider praised her work as "savvy, smart, funny and politically active"[6] and Essence named her to its list of "8 Black Comediennes Who are 'Ready' for SNL."[7]

In May 2016, Comedy Central announced that Ekperigin would create a half-hour special for the network,[8] taped in New Orleans in June 2016.[9] September 29, 2016, she made her late-night debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Her half-hour special premiered on Comedy Central just two weeks later, October 14 at midnight. Ekperigin also co-wrote a television pilot for Comedy Central with former Daily Show correspondent Jessica Williams.[10] Ekperigin has also written for Difficult People and written for and appeared on Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell.[11]

She's been a regular performer on the WNYC podcast 2 Dope Queens, standing out as a fan favorite. Other projects include a pilot for TruTV called Inside Caucasia, developed with Ekperigin's fiancé, comedian Andy Beckerman.[12]

In June 2017, she joined the writing staff of the NBC sitcom Great News, starring Briga Heelan, Andrea Martin, and John Michael Higgins.
