This years marks the 50th anniversary of the awards.
It has been announced that double Emmy-nominated actor, comedian and writer Nick Mohammed will host this year’s Olivier Awards which are being presented in association with Cunard.
Nick Mohammed is known for his performance as Nate in Apple TV+’s multi-award-winning Ted Lasso, Nick starred opposite Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham, delivering a performance that earned him two Emmy nominations. His television credits also include leading roles in Deep Cover, Slow Horses and Intelligence – which he created, wrote and executive produced – alongside appearances across a wide range of British and international drama and comedy.
Talking about the news he said: To host the Oliviers in its 50th year is not only a dream come true but an absolute honour and privilege. I love it not only for the breadth of theatrical talent it celebrates, but also for the extraordinary variety of live performances it showcases on the night itself.
“While I will try to remain in the wings during these, I can’t promise I won’t be singing along (in full voice). But at least I won’t be on roller-skates this time!”
The ceremony will take place at the Royal Albert Hall on the 12th April, with the nominations to be announced soon.
