After a sell-out UK tour and extended run in London’s West End in 2023, Taskmaster loser Nick Mohammed returns as his critically acclaimed alter-ego Mr. Swallow with a brand-new show, Show Pony, from April - June 2025. Tickets are available via fan pre-sale on Wednesday 24th July with general on sale taking place on Friday 26th July. Tickets will be available from nickmohammedlive.com.
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.
Double Emmy award nominee 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.
Nick can currently be seen as sprite Billy Blind in Sally Wainwright's hit series The Ballad of Renegade Nell on Disney+ alongside Louisa Harland. Also as a regular role in Steven Moffat’s Douglas is Cancelled on ITV alongside Hugh Bonneville and Karen Gillan. He was also one of the worst contestants in the history of Channel 4’s Taskmaster. He’ll soon be seen in a lead role alongside Bryce Dallas Howard and Orlando Bloom in Prime Video’s MGM release Deep Cover later this year. Nick’s recent acting roles include starring as ‘Nate’ in Apple TV’s hit multi award-winning series Ted Lasso Nick was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series at both the 2021 and 2022 Emmys. As part of the cast, he also won the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Nick created, wrote, exec produced and co-starred, alongside David Schwimmer, in Sky TV’s hit show Intelligence. In 2022, Nick was nominated for a Royal Television Society Award for Best Comedy Performance for his work on the show. Following two hit series, the show returned in Spring 2023 for an hour-long special.
Nick Mohammed said: Once bitten, twice shy! It is with the deepest pride that I subject the nation to another bout of Mr. Swallow. And this time, I won’t even be doing the whole thing on roller-skates!
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!
