About this show
New York comedian Meka Mo returns to Edinburgh with New York City Dreams, following her award-nominated 2024 Fringe run. Using New York not as a backdrop but as a lens, she explores her view of the world right now – and how multiculturalism shapes that perspective. In an age of political chaos and cultural contradiction, Meka delivers fearless, fast-paced stand-up packed with sharp observational humour and relentless punchlines. Bold without being preachy and clever without being smug, this is an unapologetic hour that calls out the absurdities while keeping the laughs coming hard and fast.

The set concludes with more generalised observations on toxic masculinity, social media, and how to live out of your comfort zone, It’s a 360 degree twist on not wanting to go to Syracuse earlier in the show.
