‘Priceless… captures the true essence of New York.’ – Broadway World
Comedian and podcaster Meka Mo (HBO’s Game Theory with Bomani Jones, Don’t Tell Comedy, New York Comedy Festival Comic to Watch) brings her new hour, New York City Dreams, to Just the Tonic at The Caves from 20th – 30th August. Following an award-nominated 2024 Fringe three-hander run praised as ‘hugely entertaining’ (FringeReview), this evolved solo show sharpens her voice, raises the stakes and amplifies the laughs.
In 2024, Meka brought 3 Queens of New York to the Edinburgh Fringe, where the show received strong critical response and an award nomination. FringeReview praised the hour as “a hugely entertaining hour of stand-up and stories,” while BroadwayWorld called it ‘Priceless… very New York!’
New York doesn’t teach you to fall apart — it teaches you to keep moving. As the hour builds, one thing becomes clear: no matter how loud the politics, how messy the culture, or how chaotic the headlines, this NYC girl isn’t folding. She’s laughing her way through it — and daring the world to keep up.
In a moment defined by political chaos and identity, New York City Dreams uses the world’s loudest city as a lens on everything from ambition and hustle culture to race, belonging and the absurd contradictions of modern life. What does it mean to be a New Yorker when headlines move faster than common sense? Through punchline-heavy storytelling and razor-sharp observations, Meka unpacks dating across cultures, navigating global expectations, and surviving a 24-hour news cycle with your sanity intact.
