KILLING JANET
Inumindun Inc. Presents Killing Janet Written & Performed by Omalolu “OJ’ Fiki
After a sold-out staged reading at the Magnet Theatre in Winter 2025, Killing Janet by Omalolu “OJ” Fiki premieres as a full production as part of the 2026 New York City Fringe Festival at Chain Theatre MainStage in April 2026.
INUMIDUN Inc. will present Killing Janet, written and performed by Omalolu “OJ” Fiki. Part stand-up, part cultural exorcism, Killing Janet follows a Nigerian-American woman who decides —on live TV— to “kill” her missionary-given name and everything it represents. A razor-sharp solo comedy play about faith, assimilation, and the cost of compliance staged as a surreal game show where the audience helps decide the verdict.
“A wild, raw, hilarious journey that will break your heart and blow your mind. A wildly creative and magical exploration of compartmentalized identity in a fractured world.”
— Gina Manziello, Actor (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Leverage)
“What a show! Killing Janet is heartfelt, honest, reflective, and so, so funny. Omalolu Fiki has created a wonderful, poignant roller coaster of a show — a must-see”
— Logan Riley Burner, Actor (Stranger Things 4, The Marvelous Mrs Maisel)
