You've seen him on MTV Base with The Fresh Prince Of Hackney, Young Gods Of Comedy and Kojo's Comedy Fun House. You listen to him every morning on the Choice FM Breakfast show. Now with his first movie role in Noel Clarke’s, The Knot Kojo returns to Hackney Empire to tape his first ever DVD “Live N Kicking”

Acclaimed comic, actor and presenter Kojo will be marking his return to the comedy circuit with his hilarious new show "Live N Kicking" at Hackney Empire on January 20 and 21st. It will be the energetic 31-year-old's first solo outing in five years, since taking the US by storm, landing his own comedy series on MTV Base and becoming a presenter on Choice FM.

With a reputation for delivering quick fire barbs and unforgettable punchlines, Kojo has written a show which will focus on a range of topics including the capital's dating scene, being raised in foster care, the likelihood of a black prime minister and the London riots.

He says:  "I'm one of many urban voices that need to be heard as the things politicians ignore are the things we've had to make jokes out of to stop us going crazy!"

Having previously sold out the Hackney Empire in 2006 and 2007, the event will also be his very first live DVD recording, set to be released at the end of 2012 by Revolver Entertainment.
