Palestinian-American comedian Mo Amer announces show at 3Olympia Theatre

Palestinian-American comedian Mo Amer will perform at the 3Olympia Theatre in Dublin on Thursday, September 25.

Announced as part of his El Oso Palestino Tour, the performance is expected to see Amer reflect on topics including family, fatherhood and identity in today’s political climate.

A comedian as well as an actor and writer, Amer is known for co-creating and starring in the acclaimed Netflix series MO, which is based on his own life story.

The first season of the show is set in the US and follows the Palestinian refugee as he attempts to obtain citizenship through a complex immigration process. Its second instalment, which was released in January, takes place in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and sees Amer's character and his family try to readapt to life in the territory.

The semi-autobiographical comedy drama has earned widespread praise, including a 100% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Amer has also appeared in the Hulu series Ramy, and starred alongside Dwayne Johnson in Black Adam. The Houston-raised artist has two Netflix stand-up specials under his name: The Vagabond and Mohammed in Texas.

Tickets for his 3Olympia gig start at €30.50 and go on sale Thursday, June 12 at 9am via Ticketmaster.
