Comedian Mo Amer stopped by the KFOG studio for an in-depth and inspiring conversation about his ascension from Kuwati refugee to a headlining comic who has sold out shows in dozens of countries around the world

Mo and I get into the story of his family abruptly leaving their life behind in Kuwait, his start in comedy at the age of 14, his 600 show run opening for Dave Chappelle, and we throw in some geo-political and sports talk in as well.

Listen to the full podcast below and make sure you catch Mo 7/12-7/14 at Cobb’s Comedy Club in San Francisco.
