Ted Lasso star and Taskmaster UK loser Nick Mohammed brings his critically acclaimed alter-ego Mr. Swallow to JFL Montreal for the first time with his brand new show: Show Pony. Recently seen on Amazon Prime’s hit show Last One Laughing UK, Mr. Swallow has also appeared on numerous episodes of Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown with many of his performances in Dictionary Corner going viral.

Nick’s last tour, The Very Best & Worst of Mr. Swallow, played an extended run in the UK, including a run in London’s West End, plus a sold out show at New York City’s Town Hall. Nick/Mr. Swallow then went on to write and star in last year’s smash comedy-musical A Christmas Carol (ish) to further critical acclaim which also sold out its season in London’s West End. In 2024, Mr. Swallow made his formal international screen debut at the BAFTA Film Awards with – frankly – terrifying results, a lot of which is discussed in Show Pony (for therapeutic reasons).

Show Pony has been described by Mr. Swallow as “a golden opportunity for anyone who didn’t come to the last tour” and “my most personal/libelous show to date” and will cover everything from not having his own sitcom to not having his own sitcom… and everything in between (critical race theory). 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 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 will soon be seen in the feature film Deep Cover for Amazon Prime, starring alongside Bryce Dallas Howard and Orlando Bloom. 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/Peacock TV hit show Intelligence. Other appearances include Stath Lets Flats (Channel 4), Inside No. 9 (BBC), This Time with Alan Partridge (BBC), and he has just finished shooting feature film Control with James McAvoy and Julianne Moore. He was one of the worst contestants in the history of Channel 4’s Taskmaster.
