Nick Mohammed
Nick Mohammed is an established, double Emmy-nominated actor, comedian, and writer.
Nick Mohammed is a double Emmy-nominated actor, comedian, and writer. He recently filmed two major upcoming features: Control for Studio Canal, starring opposite James McAvoy and Julianne Moore; and Deep Cover for Amazon, alongside Bryce Dallas Howard and Orlando Bloom.
Nick played the much loved (and occasionally hated!) regular role of Nate in Apple’s monster hit – multiple Emmy award-winning Ted Lasso opposite Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham. Nick was Emmy-nominated twice for the role. He was a fan favourite on the most recent series of Channel 4’s hit show Taskmaster. Nick recently starred as regular character Billy Blind in Renegade Nell for Disney+. He also created, wrote, executive produced and co-starred, alongside David Schwimmer, in Sky One's hit show Intelligencefor which he was nominated for a Royal Television Society award.
Nick has also received critical acclaim for his live character comedy work. His iconic persona Mr. Swallow took to London’s West End stage @sohoplacetheatre in 2024 with the hit show A Christmas Carol (ish). Mr Swallow also had a sellout national tour in 2023 with The Very Best And Worst Of Mr Swallowincluding a run at the Duke of York’s in the West End. He will return later this year with the eagerly awaited Show Pony - his biggest live tour yet.
Other film credits include John Slattery’s Maggie Moore(s)opposite Jon Hamm, Sky's Christmas hit film Roald and Beatrix, Joe Cornish's The Kid Who Would Be King, Ridley Scott's The Martian, Bridget Jones's Baby, and The Ab Fab Movie. He voiced Piglet in Disney’s live action 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 Channel 4’s Morning Has Broken opposite Julia Davis, HBO and Sky's Sally4Ever, Sky's Camping, Channel 4's Stath Lets Flatsand the BBC's This Time With Alan Partridge.

Comedy
Praise for 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
"Monstrously funny"
★★★★ 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.”
Praise for Nick Mohammed's TV series - INTELLIGENCE:
★★★★ Heat
“Joyously giddy… One of the funniest, frothiest TV comedies to come along in a fair while”
★★★★ i Paper
★★★★ Chortle
Radio Times
“Funny, refreshing… Laugh-out-loud”
Metro
“It’s brave, it’s smart and unapologetically funny”
The Sunday Telegraph (Pick of the Week)
“It is hard to resist the slapstick silliness of this new spy comedy”
Shortlist
“It’s truly laugh-a-minute stuff that anyone who has ever worked in any office environment will relate to. Drone hacking or not”
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
“Hilarious”
