In September of 2019, MO ALEXANDER MADE HISTORY by becoming the FIRST COMEDIAN EVER to RECORD AN ALBUM AT WORLD FAMOUS SUN STUDIO in Memphis, TN. MO’ POSSUM BLUES DEBUTED AT #1 on ITUNES and AMAZON and REMAINS ON THE CHARTS.
MO ALEXANDER has been featured on COMEDY CENTRAL’S “KEVIN HART’S HART OF THE CITY. Mo is excited to announce his signing with the RECORD LABEL STANDUP! RECORDS owned by GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING PRODUCER, DAN SCHLISSEL.
When MO ALEXANDER hits the stage, it’s clear that you’re in the hands of a DYNAMIC MASTER STORYTELLER With comedy influences such as Bill Hicks, Paul Mooney, and Richard Pryor, MO ALEXANDER combines INTELLIGENCE and DEBAUCHERY into a product that is as FUNNY as it is IMPORTANT. With AN ABILITY TO ACCESS BOTH the SMARTEST and the STUPIDEST parts of your brain, there’s a reason this COMEDY PHENOM is an IN DEMAND HEADLINER in comedy clubs NATIONWIDE for more than 20 years.
In that time, MO ALEXANDER began his professional full-time comedy career in July 1996 featuring in clubs throughout the United States and by 1999 he was headlining.
In 1998 Mo made an appearance in Bret Michael’s film, A Letter from Death Row.
After impressing KEENAN IVORY WAYANS with a good-natured roast, Mo was invited to be the opening act on tour with Keenan.
He was later given his own Las Vegas show, “The Mo Funny Show” at the Casino Royale.
In the past few years Mo has been on several syndicated radio shows in major markets, such as BOB & TOM (Indianapolis), and MANCOW (Chicago). He made his way through the ranks to become a semi-finalist in both the San Francisco Comedy Competition and the Seattle Comedy Competition. He has headlined a number of major comedy festivals such as The Chicago Comedy Exposition, Asheville Comedy Fest, Altercation Comedy Festival, Hopkins Comedy Festival, Memphis Comedy Festival, North Carolina Comedy Festival, The Lookout Comedy Festival, Eastside Comedy Festival.
MO ALEXANDER has released FIVE CDs: EVOLUTION, NAPPY HEADED HOES AND OTHER FCC INFRACTIONS , JUST IN CASE THE MAYANS ARE RIGHT (FEATURED ON THE ITUNES NEW AND NOTABLE CHARTS FRONT PAGE FOR 5 MONTHS), GOT CLOTS, and his first album on Stand Up! Records, Mo’ POSSUM BLUES which DEBUTED AT #1 ON BOTH iTUNES AND AMAZON and remains featured on the iTunes New Comedy Chart.
GOT CLOTS is a HILARIOUS look at life, chronicling 77 DAYS OF HOSPITALIZATION, as can only be told from inside the COMEDIC MIND OF Mo ALEXANDER and was released exactly one year from the time of his first death and resurrection which occurred on April 5, 2015 (Easter Sunday).
Mo can be found headlining clubs like Comedy Works, Stand Up Live, and The Star Dome just to name a few.
A BBQ connoisseur, Mo is also currently working on a new web series he co-created called Mo Alexander’s BBQ Beatdown. He plans to determine once and for all just who has the best BBQ and episodes are coming soon.
To say that MO ALEXANDER is FUNNY is like saying that Michelangelo was a good painter. Taking all of life’s absurdities and creating a night of HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER is why Mo Alexander is one of the INDUSTRY GREATS. Mo takes a lifetime of experience and insight and transforms them into some of the most INGENIOUS LAUGH RIOTS you will ever experience in your life. Not for the faint of heart or mind, INTELLIGENT AND HARD HITTING are two terms that best describe what everyone that has ever been to a Mo Alexander Show will experience.
Nothing compares to the energy of a room when Mo is through with it. Watching Mo Alexander is a night of hilarity and mischief that one won’t soon forget. He always tries to leave you with the underlying message,” I’m trying to save the world, one comedy show at a time.” After a night with Mo, you realize that not only were you entertained, you’re changed. You have a mission: “Slap the stupid!”
