Palestinian-American comedian Mo Amer is set to perform live in Egypt for the first time on 1 October at The New Capital. Amer, who was born in Kuwait and later resettled in the United States as a refugee, has built a career turning stories of migration, identity, and everyday struggles into sharp, relatable comedy. Amer’s comedy often draws on themes of identity, belonging, and the immigrant experience, using humor as a way to explore cultural intersections and everyday challenges. Beyond his solo projects, Amer has toured extensively with Dave Chappelle and performed across more than three dozen countries on five continents. The show marks Amer’s first performance in Egypt, bringing one of the most prominent Arab-American comedians to the local stage.
