Rite Of Passage

Friday 14th August

7.30pm

Nobody tells you the rules. Not the spoken ones. The unwritten ones. In this hilarious and heartfelt one-man show, Akah Nnani navigates cultural collisions, embarrassing mistakes, and life-changing revelations in a world nobody could have prepared him for. Part comedy. Part confession. Part survival guide.

Whether you've crossed continents, started over, or simply found yourself in a room where nobody seemed to speak your language — this show is for you. You'll laugh. You'll cringe. You'll recognise yourself.
