Mo Amer

As a bona fide headliner, Mo Amer has already cemented his stature as a pioneer of Arab-American standup, a truly original voice in comedy today. With parents from Palestine, born in Kuwait, and raised in Houston, Texas, his entire life provides fodder for hilarious–and at times heartbreaking–personal stories. Mo has appeared on television several times, starred in a handful of independent films, and has been interviewed by over 100 major world media outlets, including The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and The Guardian. Notably, he was also featured on the historic ‘Al-Bernameg with Bassem Youssef’ (The Daily Show of Egypt) as the only Arab-American comedian to appear on the hit show.
