Nick Mohammed is Mr Swallow: Show Pony
Comedy’s most chaotic genius returns to Basingstoke! Nick Mohammed, star of Ted Lasso, Taskmaster, and The Celebrity Traitors, brings his wildly unpredictable alter-ego Mr Swallow to The Anvil for one night only in his critically acclaimed show, Show Pony.
Prepare for a whirlwind of improv, musical mayhem, and unfiltered anecdotes as Mr Swallow gallops through tales of fame, failure, and the baffling world of showbiz. Described by The Guardian as “deliriously enjoyable” (★★★★★) and by Mr Swallow himself as “my most personal/libellous show to date”, Show Pony is part stand-up, part therapy session, and all-out entertainment.
Expect:
- Unhinged storytelling from a character who once tried to stage Les Misérables in a swimming pool.
- Sharp satire on celebrity culture, including his infamous BAFTA appearance.
- Laughs that gallop from absurd to brilliant in seconds.
Age guidance: Suitable for ages 14+
Whether you're a die-hard fan of Nick Mohammed’s TV work or just in need of a night of unbridled comedy, Show Pony promises to be a thoroughbred hit. Saddle up, Basingstoke, Mr Swallow is trotting into town and he’s bringing the full stable of laughs
