Jeremiah Ukponrefe is a Toronto based author and stand up comedian. He has written articles for The Runner, The Reel Anna, and Envie Magazine. His debut novel Hive released March 2021, the first of The Arcane Volumes Series.  As a comedian his style is a mixture of clever observations with a subversive darkness, all performed under a veil of innocence. He's performed at the Island Fringe Festival, Guelf Fringe Festival, and Victoria Fringe Festival. He is a cofounder of the event production company Punching Sideways Productions. He is really hoping this artist thing works out.
