About Nick Mohammed is Mr Swallow – Work in Progress
A Berk’s Nest production in association with United Agents. Nick Mohammed is Mr. Swallow – Work In Progress
Taskmaster loser & Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed (and his critically acclaimed alter-ego Mr. Swallow) works up his brand new show ahead of a national tour. 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 and 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 also starred 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), and 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.
