Nick Mohammed
Michael Berkeley's guest is the comedian and writer, Nick Mohammed, best known as Mr Swallow and Nate in the acclaimed TV series Ted Lasso.
The actor, comedian and writer Nick Mohammed hasn’t followed an obvious career path. His youthful obsessions included performing magic and playing the violin, followed by a first-class degree in geophysics. He even began a PhD in seismology – before his love of comedy took him in a very different direction.
He’s ended up on the red carpet at the Emmys, thanks to his role as Nate the football coach in the much-acclaimed TV series Ted Lasso. He’s starred with David Schwimmer in the sitcom Intelligence, which he wrote and co-produced.
For his live shows he created the much-loved Mr Swallow, a peevish and pedantic magician – who has also attracted millions of views on social media.
Nick's musical choices include Copland, Beethoven, Dvorak and Prokofiev.
