Walking The Dog with Emily Dean

We’re in St James’s Park with the brilliant comedian, actor and writer Nick Mohammed! Nick plays Nate in Apple TV’s hit multi award-winning series Ted Lasso, for which he was nominated twice for Outstanding Supporting Actor at the Emmy Awards. His list of credits would be a whole podcast in itself, he’s appeared in everything from 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown to Stath Lets Flats. He was also one of the worst contestants in the history of Channel 4’s Taskmaster...Nick doesn’t have a dog, but he did bring a violin… and he told us about a special connection that he had with a dog that love to walk on her hind legs.We discuss the assumptions the media makes about Nick, how being different is a superpower and his absolutely fascinating academic career, which led him to getting a day job at Morgan Stanley before getting his first on-screen break. Nick is on tour with his critically acclaimed alter-ego Mr. Swallow. Show Pony has been described by Mr. Swallow as “payback for everyone who didn’t come to the last tour” and will cover everything from not having his own sitcom to not having his own sitcom… and everything in between. As per - expect magic, music and a whole load of brand-new mistakes.
