Ted Lasso star to perform at Welsh festival

Comedian Nick Mohammed is coming to Machynlleth, it has been announced. The Ted Lasso star is getting set to take his beloved alter-ego Mr Swallow on tour.

The show, which is called Nick Mohammed presents The Very Best & Worst of Mr Swallow, will see Swallow attempt to solve a Rubik’s cube, memorise a deck of playing cards and do some pretty horrendous maths while on roller-skates. It will also see him attempt to learn the entirety of Les Miserables and feature countless other classic moments.

Nick will bring Mr Swallow to Machynlleth Comedy Festival on Sunday, April 30. The show will also tour Salford, Leeds, Norwich, Bristol & London.

Ahead of the show, Mr Swallow himself said: “Given the somewhat turbulent times we’re living in right now, I’ve decided it’s probably best for me to go on a national tour. Thank you in advance to everyone (in the country) for coming along. One of the things I’m most proud of is how my ‘material’ seems to resonate with both teenagers all the way up to the elderly and infirm, so frankly anyone can get it (like a virus). Looking forward to seeing/shouting at you soon.”

Nick has previously wowed audiences as Mr Swallow multiple times on Channel 4's 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, with clips of his performances quickly going viral. Viewing figures for the clip of Mr Swallow’s rendition of Jurassic Park stands at over 9 million on Facebook whilst the clip of him memorising a deck of playing cards has been viewed over 12 million times.

Aside from being Mr Swallow, Nick is also a two-time Emmy-nominated actor, comedian and writer who stars as the regular fan-favourite role of Nate in Apple TV+’s smash-hit, multi award-winning series, Ted Lasso, opposite Jason Sudeikis, Brett Goldstein and Hannah Waddingham. Last year, the show received an astonishing 20 Emmy nominations (the most for a comedy and the second year they’ve achieved that) including Nick’s second nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series.

Tickets for Nick Mohammed presents The Very Best & Worst of Mr Swallow are on sale now. They are available from berksnest.com/nick.
