About this episode

Meka Mo shares her experiences as a comedian navigating cultural differences and performing internationally.

Meka Mo grew up in Queens, worked on Wall Street, watched the Miracle on the Hudson happen from her office window, lost a South London church basement crowd the moment she swore in front of some Jamaican grandmas, and has never once been pickpocketed anywhere in the world. She's been navigating cultural minefields ever since — and making it look easy. Meka Mo is a New York City-based comedian, host of the emotional wellness comedy podcast We're Done Here, and a regular on the international comedy circuit. Her new show, New York City Dreams, will be playing at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. Why performing internationally means constantly working out which jokes travel and which ones don't Why she's never been pickpocketed anywhere in the world — and the flatmates who kept getting robbed in London The Columbus Day joke that went badly in Las Vegas Watching the Miracle on the Hudson happen in real time from her office window on Wall Street.
