NICK MOHAMMED: How Comedy & Magic Helped Me Survive the Playground Bullies

Nick Mohammed is a man of many talents. He's the comedian behind the iconic character Mr Swallow, an Emmy-nominated actor best known for Ted Lasso, Slow Horses and Intelligence and, an amazing magician.

He also captured the nation’s hearts as the Faithful who almost won the first series of The Celebrity Traitors.

Nick is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. He’s also proof that success rarely happens overnight. Nick started out performing stand-up to an audience of just two people and he has worked his way up to become one of the country’s favourite comedians and actors.

In our conversation, Nick shares:

How magic helped him deal with school bullies
Being part of the first ever series of The Celebrity Traitors
What it’s like working with David Schwimmer and Jason Sudeikis
How he created his iconic character Mr Swallow
The secret to a happy marriage

Nick is proof that the things that make you feel different can end up becoming your biggest strengths.

Nick Mohammed is Great Company.
