Following two hit series, the show returned in Spring 2023 for a an hour-long special.

Nick was nominated for the Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series award at both the 2021 and 2022 Emmys. As part of the cast, he won the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series Award at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Tom Kinglsey is directing and the film is bring produced by Colin Trevorrow’s Metronome Film Company. Nick has just wrapped filming DOUGLAS IS CANCELLED, Steven Moffat’s upcoming series for ITV, opposite Hugh Bonneville and Karen Gillan.

 

Nick recently filmed THE BALLAD OF RENEGADE NELL, a Lookout Point original adventure series for Disney+, directed by Ben Taylor (Sex Education, Catastrophe), to be released this year. The series will follow Nell, a quick-witted and courageous young woman who finds herself framed for murder and unexpectedly becomes the most notorious highwaywoman in 18th Century England. Nick will play a plucky but prickly little spirit called Billy Blind, who helps Nell as she realises that fate has put her on the wrong side of the law for a reason much bigger than she could’ve ever imagined.

 

Nick recently starred in John Slattery’s second feature as a director MAGGIE MOORE(S), alongside Jon Ham and Tina Fey. The black comedy takes place in a dusty desert town where nothing ever happens, as a police chief is suddenly faced with the back-to-back murders of two women with the same name.

 

In December 2022, Nick wrote and starred in his musical version a Dickens classic - 'A CHRISTMAS CAROL-ISH', featuring Nick's famous comedy character Mr Swallow. The show was highly praised by various newspapers with some review highlights below.

 

Over 2023, Nick went on a national tour with his new show THE VERY BEST AND WORST OF MR. SWALLOW which has been described as a “one-off comic masterclass” (The Times, ★★★★ ), with loyal fans all over the country flocking to see the character’s most loved moments. This comes off the back of his joyous hit show at the Soho Theatre – A CHRISTMAS CAROL-ISH – which received rave reviews across the board.

 

His other credits include Sky's Christmas hit film ROALD AND BEATRIX, Joe Cornish's THE KID WHO WOULD BE KING, Ridley Scott's THE MARTIAN, box office smash BRIDGET JONES'S BABY, and THE AB FAB MOVIE. He voiced Piglet in Disney’s live action feature CHRISTOPHER ROBIN, and played the Butler in Disney's THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS. He has featured in a host of TV comedies including HBO and Sky's SALLY4EVER, Sky's CAMPING, Channel 4's UNCLE and STATH LETS FLATS and the BBC's LIFE'S TOO SHORT. 

  

Nick has received critical acclaim for his live character comedy work and has transferred this success to the small screen. He has appeared in character as Mr. Swallow on Channel 4’s HARRY HILL’S CLUB NITE, Dave's COMEDIANS GIVING LECTURES and several times on Channel 4’s CATS DOES COUNTDOWN, with clips of the performances quickly going viral – viewing figures for the clip of Mr. Swallow’s Jurassic Park rendition stand at 8.7 million on Facebook whilst the clip of him memorising cards has been viewed 7.9 million times.

 

Nick is a successful radio broadcaster. Following the success of his hit BBC Radio 4 debut QUARTERS he went on to write and record NICK MOHAMMED IN BITS, APOLLO 21 and most recently two series of DETECTIVE SERGEANT NICK MOHAMMED.

 

He is an Associate of the Inner Magic Circle and author of THE YOUNG MAGICIANS series of children's books published by Penguin Random House.

 

 

Praise for Nick Mohammed's current tour - THE VERY BEST AND WORST OF MR SWALLOW:

 

★★★★★ The Reviews Hub

“A brilliant comic creation… you may end up with a pain in your side or sore face muscles from laughing so hard”

★★★★★ Broadway World

“A bona fide hoot… superb”

★★★★ Evening Standard

“Uniquely joyous, there’s scarcely a dull moment in this one-off comic masterclass. On rollerskates!”

★★★★ The Times

“Impressive… Why he’s on roller-skates is anyone’s guess”

★★★★ The Guardian
“An irresistible comic creation… Pure entertainment and genuinely impressive”

★★★★ The Telegraph

 

 

Praise for Nick Mohammed's A CHRISTMAS CAROL-ISH:

 

★★★★★ Box Office Radio

“The brilliant kind of perfectly written and executed chaos.”

 

★★★★★ Time Out

“Go and see it. Should be compulsory Christmas afternoon TV viewing.”

 

★★★★★ Broadway World

“Mohammed's superb comedic writing and timing really does make it feel like the production has gone spectacularly off course. It's genius writing is aided by Matt Peover's tight directing and you can't help but feel utterly charmed by each character, even the self-centered Mr Swallow.”

 

★★★★★ Lost in Theatre Land

“It’s another hit for a stellar team, and I think everyone should go. Not to put too fine a point on it, but it’s the best Christmas show I have ever seen! Nick Mohammed is an absolute wonder, and hurrah for Christmas-ish.“

 

★★★★ Chortle

“production defies the odds to send the audience out into the Soho streets full of Christmas cheer. For while A Christmas Carol-ish is an utter mess, you’d have to be a real Scrooge not to be charmed by it all.”

 

★★★★ Theatre Weekly

“Mohammed is the beating heart of it all, a dynamo of energy who makes juggling magic, music, and stealing scenes in Ted Lasso look like a walk in the park. He really is the kind of performer you could watch reading the Yellow Pages, if those even exist anymore.”

 

★★★★ Londonist

“Mohammed has that rare quality of making you giggle just by rattling out a line like "Oh my god!" or even an Alastair Sim-esque "Spirit!"”

★★★★ i Paper

 

★★★★ Chortle

Wall Street Journal

“Frequently hilarious… Intelligence goes rollicking along, with much to commend it, chiefly its wit and energy”

 

Collider

Intelligence is a sharp, crisp, and fun-as-hell sitcom… you’ll laugh, hard, often”

 

Time

“Intelligence is a smartly written workplace comedy”

 

LA Times

“Dryly funny, rude in a polite way, restrained even when it gets grotesque or slapstick, the show is kept from brittleness by the fretful, the hangdog - the Ross - that Schwimmer’s character hides inside, and his growing dependence on Nick Mohammed’s sweet, slow, hero-worshiping computer analyst”

 

TV Insider

“If The Office had been set in a hapless parody of 24's CTU, the result might be something like the hilarious Intelligence”

 

The Australian

“Absurd from the off… Compulsively watchable”

 

Brisbane Times

Time

“Intelligence is a smartly written workplace comedy”

 

LA Times

“Dryly funny, rude in a polite way, restrained even when it gets grotesque or slapstick, the show is kept from brittleness by the fretful, the hangdog - the Ross - that Schwimmer’s character hides inside, and his growing dependence on Nick Mohammed’s sweet, slow, hero-worshiping computer analyst”

Comedy

Nick Mohammed is an established, double Emmy-nominated actor, comedian, and writer.

 

Nick created, wrote, executive produced and co-starred, alongside David Schwimmer, in Sky One's hit show INTELLIGENCE. In 2022, Nick was nominated for a Royal Television Society Award for Best Comedy Performance for his work on the show. Following two hit series, the show returned in Spring 2023 for a an hour-long special.

 

Nick's recent acting roles include a starring role as ‘Nate’ in Apple’s hit, Emmy award-winning series - TED LASSO – opposite Jason Sudeikis. The show has received eleven Emmy awards. Nick was nominated for the Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series award at both the 2021 and 2022 Emmys. As part of the cast, he won the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series Award at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

 

Nick is currently filming feature film, DEEP COVER, with Bryce Dallas Howard and Orlando Bloom for Amazon Prime Video. Tom Kinglsey is directing and the film is bring produced by Colin Trevorrow’s Metronome Film Company. Nick has just wrapped filming DOUGLAS IS CANCELLED, Steven Moffat’s upcoming series for ITV, opposite Hugh Bonneville and Karen Gillan.

 

Nick recently filmed THE BALLAD OF RENEGADE NELL, a Lookout Point original adventure series for Disney+, directed by Ben Taylor (Sex Education, Catastrophe), to be released this year. The series will follow Nell, a quick-witted and courageous young woman who finds herself framed for murder and unexpectedly becomes the most notorious highwaywoman in 18th Century England. Nick will play a plucky but prickly little spirit called Billy Blind, who helps Nell as she realises that fate has put her on the wrong side of the law for a reason much bigger than she could’ve ever imagined.

 

Nick recently starred in John Slattery’s second feature as a director MAGGIE MOORE(S), alongside Jon Ham and Tina Fey. The black comedy takes place in a dusty desert town where nothing ever happens, as a police chief is suddenly faced with the back-to-back murders of two women with the same name.

 

In December 2022, Nick wrote and starred in his musical version a Dickens classic - 'A CHRISTMAS CAROL-ISH', featuring Nick's famous comedy character Mr Swallow. The show was highly praised by various newspapers with some review highlights below.

 

Over 2023, Nick went on a national tour with his new show THE VERY BEST AND WORST OF MR. SWALLOW which has been described as a “one-off comic masterclass” (The Times, ★★★★ ), with loyal fans all over the country flocking to see the character’s most loved moments. This comes off the back of his joyous hit show at the Soho Theatre – A CHRISTMAS CAROL-ISH – which received rave reviews across the board.

 

His other credits include Sky's Christmas hit film ROALD AND BEATRIX, Joe Cornish's THE KID WHO WOULD BE KING, Ridley Scott's THE MARTIAN, box office smash BRIDGET JONES'S BABY, and THE AB FAB MOVIE. He voiced Piglet in Disney’s live action feature CHRISTOPHER ROBIN, and played the Butler in Disney's THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS. He has featured in a host of TV comedies including HBO and Sky's SALLY4EVER, Sky's CAMPING, Channel 4's UNCLE and STATH LETS FLATS and the BBC's LIFE'S TOO SHORT. 

  

Nick has received critical acclaim for his live character comedy work and has transferred this success to the small screen. He has appeared in character as Mr. Swallow on Channel 4’s HARRY HILL’S CLUB NITE, Dave's COMEDIANS GIVING LECTURES and several times on Channel 4’s CATS DOES COUNTDOWN, with clips of the performances quickly going viral – viewing figures for the clip of Mr. Swallow’s Jurassic Park rendition stand at 8.7 million on Facebook whilst the clip of him memorising cards has been viewed 7.9 million times.

 

Nick is a successful radio broadcaster. Following the success of his hit BBC Radio 4 debut QUARTERS he went on to write and record NICK MOHAMMED IN BITS, APOLLO 21 and most recently two series of DETECTIVE SERGEANT NICK MOHAMMED.

 

He is an Associate of the Inner Magic Circle and author of THE YOUNG MAGICIANS series of children's books published by Penguin Random House.

 

 

Praise for Nick Mohammed's current tour - THE VERY BEST AND WORST OF MR SWALLOW:

 

★★★★★ The Reviews Hub

“A brilliant comic creation… you may end up with a pain in your side or sore face muscles from laughing so hard”

★★★★★ Broadway World

“A bona fide hoot… superb”

★★★★ Evening Standard

“Uniquely joyous, there’s scarcely a dull moment in this one-off comic masterclass. On rollerskates!”

★★★★ The Times

“Impressive… Why he’s on roller-skates is anyone’s guess”

★★★★ The Guardian
“An irresistible comic creation… Pure entertainment and genuinely impressive”

★★★★ The Telegraph

 

 

Praise for Nick Mohammed's A CHRISTMAS CAROL-ISH:

 

★★★★★ Box Office Radio

“The brilliant kind of perfectly written and executed chaos.”

 

★★★★★ Time Out

“Go and see it. Should be compulsory Christmas afternoon TV viewing.”

 

★★★★★ Broadway World

“Mohammed's superb comedic writing and timing really does make it feel like the production has gone spectacularly off course. It's genius writing is aided by Matt Peover's tight directing and you can't help but feel utterly charmed by each character, even the self-centered Mr Swallow.”

 

★★★★★ Lost in Theatre Land

“It’s another hit for a stellar team, and I think everyone should go. Not to put too fine a point on it, but it’s the best Christmas show I have ever seen! Nick Mohammed is an absolute wonder, and hurrah for Christmas-ish.“

 

★★★★ Chortle

“production defies the odds to send the audience out into the Soho streets full of Christmas cheer. For while A Christmas Carol-ish is an utter mess, you’d have to be a real Scrooge not to be charmed by it all.”

 

★★★★ Theatre Weekly

“Mohammed is the beating heart of it all, a dynamo of energy who makes juggling magic, music, and stealing scenes in Ted Lasso look like a walk in the park. He really is the kind of performer you could watch reading the Yellow Pages, if those even exist anymore.”

 

★★★★ Londonist

“Mohammed has that rare quality of making you giggle just by rattling out a line like "Oh my god!" or even an Alastair Sim-esque "Spirit!"”

 

 

Recent praise for Nick's live work:

 

★★★★★ The Guardian

“One of the most incontrovertibly hilarious hours in town"

 

★★★★★ The Stage

"A spellbinding feat of comic perfection"

 

★★★★★ Evening Standard

"Split-your-sides hilarious… Breathtaking"

 

★★★★★ Metro

★★★★ The Telegraph

"24-carat comic gold… Will leave you grinning foolishly from ear to ear"

 

★★★★ The Sunday Times

"A spectacular show… How can Mohammed possibly top this?"

 

★★★★ The Scotsman

"Expertly executed… There isn't anything that the irrepressible Swallow can't accomplish”

 

★★★★ The i

“Mr. Swallow is a sublime comic creation"

 

★★★★ The List

"Silly, funny and jaw-dropping"

 

★★★★ Chortle

"Brilliantly funny… A potent mix of the sharp and the silly"

 

★★★★ The Skinny

"Hysterically funny… Seriously impressive and nerve-wracking at the same time"

 

★★★★ Edinburgh Evening News

"Huge fun… And, most importantly, it is laugh out funny.”
