Mo Amer built the Netflix series Mo out of his own story as a Palestinian refugee raised in Houston, and his stand-up works the same material: family, borders, paperwork and everything that gets lost in translation. This is a one-night headline date in Radio City's Art Deco hall, and it is phone-free, so the room stays on the jokes instead of its screens. If you want one big comedy night in the city this weekend, this is it.
What to expect
A full stand-up set in the 6,000-seat Radio City auditorium. At the door, staff seal phones, smart glasses and other recording devices in Yondr pouches that stay with you and are unlocked when the show ends. Bags are inspected before entry, and the venue asks guests to arrive about 90 minutes before showtime.
Good to know
- Take the B, D, F or M to 47–50 Sts–Rockefeller Center, one block from the entrance on Sixth Avenue.
- Phones stay locked in a pouch for the whole show, so share your plans and meeting spot before you go in.
- Radio City asks guests to arrive about 90 minutes early for bag checks and pouching.
- The show may use strobe lights, loud sound effects or haze, according to the ticket listing.
