About Meka Mo
New York comedian Meka Mo returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with New York City Dreams. Rather than using New York as a backdrop, she uses it as a lens through which to explore her view of the world and how multiculturalism shapes perspective. Set against a backdrop of political chaos and cultural contradiction, the show delivers fast-paced stand-up built on sharp observational humour and relentless punchlines. The show is described as bold without being preachy and clever without being smug. It runs 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Meka Mo's stand-up is built around a specific worldview — multicultural New York as a way of seeing political and cultural contradiction — and the comedy is all the sharper for it. Fast, funny, and not interested in lecturing anyone.
