MO AMER


Mo Amer is an Arab American stand up comedian, actor and writer, known for his iconic work with
the comedy troupe "Allah Made Me Funny". Mo was most recently shooting a role in New Line's
BLACK ADAM opposite Dwayne Johnson before executive producing and starring in his Comedy
Special: Mohammed in Texas, which aired on Netflix in November of 2021.

In 2018, Mo debuted his first stand up special on Netflix, entitled "The Vagabond." The special was
filmed at the historic Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas and features a number of Easter eggs,
including a surprise appearance (off camera) by Amer's longtime mentor Dave Chappelle (credited
as "Announcer"), and original music by members of the legendary Roots crew (beat by Stro, lyrics
by Black Thought). The special was directed by veteran comedy director/producer Stan Nathan.

Additionally, Mo was featured on the 2021 Variety Comics to Watch list.

Amer's television credits include comedy Central's @midnight, TRU TV's Comedy Knockout, and
HBO's Crashing. He also appeared on Bassem Youssef's historic show 'AlBernameg' (aka 'The Daily
Show of Egypt'). Amer made his late night debut on CBS's Late Night with Stephen Colbert, while
Rolling Stone named him among its "10 Comedians You Need to Know." He appeared as a series
regular on the Hulu original series Ramy (co starring with Ramy Youssef) in 2019.
A pioneer in Arab American stand up, Amer's humor consists of observational comedy, political
satire and race related material, heavily drawing on autobiographical elements, as well as his
unique improvised, conversational style. He tells his unusual, circuitous life story, detailing how he
managed to travel the world without a passport for years before finally becoming a U.S. citizen after
two decades; had an American soldier pull a weapon on him (at a military show) in Iraq; and once
had Bradley Cooper (unintentionally) rescue him in the Middle East. Amer has performed in well
over two dozen countries on five continents, and he is the first and only Arab American refugee
comic to perform for U.S. and coalition troops overseas. His sold out shows worldwide include
performances at the Royal Albert Hall and Hammersmith Apollo (London, Acer Arena (Sydney),
Nelson Mandela Theater (Johannesburg), and Shrine Auditorium (Los Angeles).
Additionally, Amer has toured extensively with Chappelle, performing over 600 shows with the
standup legend, including his historic run at Radio City Music Hall, where he shared the stage with
Jon Stewart, Chance The Rapper, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Childish Gambino (Donald Glover), Trevor Noah,

Hannibal Buress and Ali Wong.

Born in Kuwait, Amer fled to the United States as a refugee in 1990 and finally obtained his U.S. citizenship in 2009. He currently splits his time between New York City and his hometown of Houston, Texas.
