About Nick Mohammed is Mr. Swallow: Show Pony
After a sell-out 2023 UK tour and an extended run in London’s West End, Taskmaster loser Nick Mohammed returns as his critically acclaimed alter-ego Mr. Swallow with a brand new show.
Show Pony has been described by Mr. Swallow as “payback for everyone who didn’t come to the last tour” and will cover everything from not having his own sitcom to not having his own sitcom… and everything in between (critical race theory). As per – expect magic, music, and a whole load of brand-new mistakes.
Nick Mohammed is one of the UK’s most celebrated comedians, actors, and writers. Nick has received feverish critical acclaim for his previous Mr. Swallow shows Dracula, Houdini, and A Christmas Carol-ish… alongside his first UK tour The Very Best & Worst of Mr. Swallow.
Mr. Swallow has appeared in Dictionary Corner on numerous episodes of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, with clips of his performances quickly going viral, along with entertaining the great and the good at the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards, with frankly terrifying results!
Nick plays Nate in Apple TV’s hit multi-award-winning series Ted Lasso, for which he was nominated twice for Outstanding Supporting Actor at the Emmy Awards. He has recently been seen starring in Sally Wainwright’s Renegade Nell (Disney+) and Steven Moffat’s Douglas Is Cancelled (ITV).
Nick created, wrote, and starred (alongside David Schwimmer) in his own Sky TV hit show Intelligence. Other appearances include Stath Lets Flats (Channel 4), Inside No. 9 (BBC), This Time with Alan Partridge (BBC), and he’ll soon be seen starring alongside Bryce Dallas Howard and Orlando Bloom in Prime Video’s Deep Cover. He was one of the worst contestants in the history of Channel 4’s Taskmaster.
