The inimitable Mr. Swallow brings his brand-new show Show Pony to the stage – a chaotic, hilarious and surprisingly personal ride through magic, music, and monumental mishaps.
Following scene-stealing turns on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Amazon Prime’s Last One Laughing, and a memorable appearance at the 2024 BAFTAs, Mr. Swallow is ready to unleash his most unhinged (and possibly libellous) creation yet.
Written and performed by Nick Mohammed – the Emmy-nominated star of Ted Lasso, Intelligence and Renegade Nell – Show Pony sees Mr. Swallow reflecting on life, fame, and the cruel injustice of not having his own sitcom. Expect songs, stunts, and a flurry of brand-new mistakes from one of comedy’s most unpredictable geniuses.
