THEATRE + COMEDY

The Comedy Showcase presents Mo Omer.

Best known as one-third of the Muslim comedy show, Allah Made Me Funny, Mohammed “Mo”Amer has been entertaining audiences worldwide with his unique brand of humor, which transcendcultural boundaries and helps bridge the divide between the Muslim and non-Muslim world.

Dubbed the “Arab-American Bill Cosby”, Mohammed “Mo” Amer is a bona fide headliner, an established standup comedian from Houston, Texas. In the classic storyteller tradition, Mo is the rare comic gem who started performing standup in high school while still in his mid-teens, racking up years of experience touring literally across the world, with an impressive global and national standup resume before even hitting his 30th birthday.

He has performed in over two dozen countries on five continents — as the first and only Arab-American refugee comic to perform for U.S. and coalition troops overseas, as well as with “Allah Made Me Funny: The Official Muslim Comedy Tour.” Adoring fans have watched him at sold-out shows worldwide, including: Royal Albert Hall and Hammersmith-Apollo (London), Acer Arena (Sydney), Nelson Mandela Theatre (Johannesburg), Shrine Auditorium (Los Angeles), as well as at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival, the Malmo Arts Festival (Sweden), the Amman Comedy Festival (Jordan), and the World’s Funniest Island Festival (Australia).

He has been interviewed on television and radio dozens of times, including on NPR, BBC, and CNN.
