With his 2027 tour already sold out months in advance, including London’s Hackney Empire, multi-award-winning hip-hop comedian and social media sensation – with over half a billion views online – MC Hammersmith (real name Will Naameh) will now add 42 extra dates and 40,000 tickets to his UK and Ireland Ice Ice Nepo Baby tour.
This includes a triumphant trip to the motherland: the (MC) Hammersmith Apollo on 31st March 2028, which marks his biggest headline show to date.
The news comes as MC Hammersmith goes global, with his debut US and Canada tour kicking off this month in 11 cities, and extra dates added in New York (Bell House) and Los Angeles (Dynasty Typewriter) following rapid sell outs. This year also marks his biggest Edinburgh Fringe run to date, selling out a month of shows in Assembly Studio Three and extra shows in the 500 seat Gordon Aikman Theatre.
Ice Ice Nepo Baby: When MC Hammersmith turned 18, his parents (MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice) revealed he was adopted (!). His two famous dads helped him ascend to the top of the rap game. Now he must embark on a quest to find his biological family, the only way he knows how: by performing an hour of improvised hip hop comedy based on audience suggestions…
