Mo Amer has one of the most unique backstories in comedy. A Palestinian refugee who grew up in Houston, Texas? The jokes write themselves—but Mo writes them better.
Global Comedy
Mo isn’t just a US comic; he’s a global act. He tours arenas worldwide. But when he’s in New York, he hits the Cellar.
His comedy is a bridge. He explains the Arab experience to Americans and the American experience to the world. And he does it while being absolutely hilarious.
The Dave Chappelle Connection
Mo has opened for Chappelle for years. That is the highest endorsement you can get in this business. You have to be a heavyweight to share that stage.
Watch the Legend
Mo’s storytelling is elite. He can hold a room in the palm of his hand for 20 minutes with a single story about hummus or border patrol. Don’t miss him when he pops up on the Live Schedule.
