Once bitten, twice shy! It is with the deepest pride that I subject the nation to a brand new bout of Mr. Swallow. And this time, I won’t even be doing the whole thing on roller-skates!????

‘Show Pony’ has been described by Mr. Swallow himself as “payback for everyone who didn’t come to the last tour” and the show 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 new mistakes.
Throughout a stellar career, Nick Mohammed has wowed audiences with his “famous athlete, singer and orphan” alter-ego Mr. Swallow with stage shows ‘Dracula!’, ‘Houdini’, ‘A Christmas Carol-ish’ and his debut ‘The Very Best & Worst of Mr. Swallow’ as well as in Dictionary Corner on Channel 4’s Cats Does Countdown.
He’s also known on-screen for playing Nate in Apple TV’s hit multi-award-winning series Ted Lasso, for which he was twice nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor at the Emmys. He has also starred in Renegade Nell on Disney+, Steven Moffat’s Douglas Is Cancelled and Sky’s hit show Intelligence – which he created, wrote and starred in.
Elsewhere, he has appeared in such comedy favourites as Stath Lets Flats (Channel 4), Inside Number 9 (BBC), This Time With Alan Partridge (BBC) and will soon be joining Bryce Dallas Howard and Orlando Bloom in Prime’s Deep Cover. He was one of the worst contestants in Taskmaster history.
