About

Mo Amer on Tour

A proud Arab-American who challenges assumptions and prejudices in the funniest possible ways, Mo Amer is one of the comedy world's sharpest new talents.

Named in Rolling Stone's "10 Comedians You Need to Know" in 2018, Amer became a breakout performer thanks to The Vagabond, his first one-hour special for Netflix. Recorded at the Paramount Theatre in Austin in his home state of Texas, the special captures a comedian with a unique ability to tackle thorny subjects with a remarkably light touch. 

Whether he's relating his family's experiences as Palestinian refugees who fled from Kuwait to Houston during the first Gulf War, talking about the complexities of being a Muslim in post-9/11 America, or riffing on getting seated next to Eric Trump on an airplane, Amer presents it from a perspective that's all his own.

Audiences have been appreciating that perspective since Amer first began developing his craft in Houston's comedy clubs as a teenager in the late 1990s. At the age of 19, he became the first Arab-American refugee comic to perform for U.S. troops stationed abroad. The young comedian also attracted an invaluable mentor in Dave Chappelle. "Hilarious, thought-provoking, and inspiring" is how the comedy superstar describes Amer, his opening act for more than 600 shows, including his 2017 residency at New York's Radio City Music Hall. (It's also the voice of Chappelle you hear as the announcer for The Vagabond.)

Amer's comedy career has taken him to more than two dozen countries on five continents. In addition to performing with Chappelle and as a headliner, he has toured widely with Preacher Moss and Azhar Usman in the Muslim stand-up collective Allah Made Me Funny. Amer has recorded two specials with the group: Allah Made Me Funny: Live in Concert and Allah Made Me Funny - Official Muslim Comedy Show - Live HMV Apollo.

Amer has also made appearances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central's @midnight, and TruTV's Comedy Knockout. He co-stars with Ramy Youssef on the Hulu original series Ramy.

    Bad acoustics and misrepresented show ruined it for us

    by Pmtx on 9/19/23Bayou Music Center - Houston

    Mo honored his theater teachers during the event which was so sweet. Being a teacher myself, and rarely treating myself to a late event, a few of the other things about the event rubbed me really wrong. Here’s the thing- If the show is listed as starting at 8, SOMETHING should start at 8. We got there at 7:3o and nothing happened for over an hour. And being that our seats were wedged between two walls we were quite trapped. By the time we finally shoved our way out of our aisle our legs were really hurting, and that’s the second point: I paid for seats with obstructed view and was fine with the fact that it was hard to see, but those seats shouldn’t even be sold as the acoustics were so terrible we lost most of what was being said by even the most articulate comedians. Every time they spoke it was followed by reverb. And finally, I bought a ticket to see a comedian who was on for maybe half an hour. I didn’t have any idea that it was more akin to a comedy fest, and wouldn’t have been interested. I was very disappointed by the misrepresentation of the show’s billing.

    Wow... What a treat

    by SoCo on 9/19/23Bayou Music Center - Houston

    Mo showed his love for Houston in a special way. Brought out Hasan Minaj and Dave Chappelle as special unannounced guests. Had beautiful Arabic performances at the beginning. And had my wife and I laughing. Go see Mo! Get Mo!

    Mo Amer standup comedy show was hilarious

    by Suhel on 8/13/23

    Mo Amer was hilarious and the other opening acts, Cipha Sounds, Paul Elia, Frank Castillo were all hilarious too. Enjoyed the entire show. Everyone at our table had a great time laughing throughout the night. Cobb's staff were all nice and very accommodating.

    HILARIOUS

    by Chi on 8/9/23

    This is my second time seeing Mo in a year. He is hilarious! He had the crowd cracking up from the second he came out until the second he left. I first discovered him on Netflix when I binged his show and then his comedy specials. His crowd work is my favorite. He is super relatable and comes off so humble. You truly feel like you know him personally when he’s on stage. And it was nice to see the diverse crowd he attracts at each show. Don’t sleep on tickets! He sells out fast and with good reason!

    Mo's opening act was great and he also doubled as the DJ. Really funny. Mo Amer is extremely funny. He stayed on stage for longer than most comedians would. We couldn't stop laughing. great show. I will go to another.

    Great show!

    by Kt Ldr on 2/6/23Gila River Resorts & Casinos - Wild Horse Pass - Chandler

    Mo was great! Ive been following him since his first special came out and he has quickly become one of my favorites. I was worried I might get disappointed at a live show.. but not at all. He interacting great with the crowd, hope he comes back soon. First time at the venue and I really enjoyed it. Although we sat close to the stage it felt like all seats would have a good view.

    Come to Detroit

    by Rigo R on 9/7/22

    Hey brother! Saw your Netflix special and was amazed at your talent. I recently binged season 1 of your show as well and was amazed at how much I cried, was able to embody some of your struggles as well as laugh. I’m writing this because I feel taking a trip to Detroit would be a great move for your career. Dearborn, an adjacent city to Detroit, has the largest middle eastern community in the US so I feel that alone would sell out the show. Would love to see your show and meet you as well :)
