Mo Amer

his Middle Eastern cookery masterclass is a lesson in comic timing, facial expressiveness and as he furiously demonstrates how to scoop hummus in the right direction in mime, too.

Why see Mo Amer?
The Vagabond
Award winning Palestinian-American comedian, actor and writer Mo Amer heads out on tour around North America this year with his El Oso Palestino tour! Fresh from the release of his third Netflix special 'Mo Amer: Wild World', he arrives on this tour with new material shaped by a life that has never exactly been short of material.
Stand-Up With Soul, Wit, And Big Heart!
One of the most distinctive stand-up voices working today! As the star of his semi-autobiographical Netflix series Mo, Mo Amer's act often mines comedy from his personal experience. Namely navigating life as a Palestinian refugee growing up in Texas, and the challenges of immigration, all with hilarious results. The Netflix show's critical acclaim, which includes a Peabody award and a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score, all but confirmed Amer's knack to connect comedy with poignant social commentary. Beyond Mo, you'll have seen Amer alongside Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in Black Adam, as well as his two Netflix stand-up specials Mo Amer: The Vagabond and Mo Amer: Mohammed in Texas. Having performed in over 27 countries, it's clear his comedy is universal despite being so deeply rooted in his own experiences. Don't miss your chance to see him on tour!
