Ain't No Mo' is a play consisting of a series of sketch comedy-style vignettes written by Jordan E. Cooper. The premise of the play is set in an alternate present where the United States government has put forward a program to buy every Black person in America, who wishes, a one-way ticket to Africa. The vignettes portray how this program affects various characters and the people around them.[1][2]

The show is notable for it making Cooper the youngest Black American to make his Broadway playwriting debut, at age 27,[3] and the youngest Black American playwright nominated for a Tony Award.[4]
