There were sold out signs outside Nick Mohammed’s largest theatrical show so far last night with a second date added due to demand. This is no doubt thanks to the actor’s fame in Emmy-winning football comedy Ted Lasso. Mohammed plays former good guy Nate Shelley, who recently started the new season by going over to the dark side, otherwise known as West Ham United.
The Leeds-born comedian is brilliant in Ted Lasso and equally superb onstage. Just don’t buy a ticket expecting to see Nate. “It is a very different show,” understates Mohammed when he first appears – on roller skates on the sloping stage just to add a little jeopardy to the performance.
