About
Mohammed "Mo" Amer is an established standup comedian from Houston, Texas, who tours comedy clubs, theatres, and alt venues worldwide. He has performed in over 27 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." He has performed with comedy legends recently opening for Dave Chappelle, and he has appeared at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival, the Malmo Arts Festival (Sweden), 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. His work promotes understanding between the diverse cultures of the world, and his cultural and family background uniquely situates him to speak from the heart about the absurd problems of religion, terror, and the politics of our age through the lens of honest, endearing, personal stories about his family and himself. Mo's one-man show, entitled "Legally Homeless: Trials of a Refugee," debuted in front of 5000 fans at Olympic Square in Sydney, Australia. A "Legally Homeless" world tour is currently in development.
