Outside of Fringe, he has dabbled in acting, writing, directing, puppetry, and improv comedy for the past 20 years.

(Speaking of Blackout Improv, Mahmoud is also performing in Blackout Improv Does Something!!! over at Huge Theater.) He is also a member of Jesters Improv Comedy and the murder mystery show The Dinner Detective, where he met Nicole! He would like to thank Nicole for her creative guidance and brilliant wisdom, and he is dedicating this show to all the children whose stories are yet to be heard.

****Additional content warnings: This performance includes a reference to incest and two scenes involving police.

Based on a true story, "Two Bowls of Cereal and Some Bacon" opened the 2009 Fringe to an audience of 9. It ended its run with a near-sold-out house. While some revisions have been made to the script, the themes and topics referenced are just as relevant now as they were 15 years ago. The writer invites audiences to witness this emotional journey with an open heart. It is a story told not to inspire sympathy, but to inspire change.

Here are some audience reviews from the 2009 performance:

"One of the most intense, heartfelt pieces of theater I have ever seen."

"Wow!"

"I am still shaking as I'm writing this review." 

"Mahmoud Hakima is a master storyteller."
