Key Information

Early life

[edit]

According to an article in The Nationalist (Carlow), Ashmawy's mother Nancy is from Ballycoog, Avoca, County Wicklow[1] although Ashmawy was born in Libya and is part-Egyptian.[2] He moved to Ireland at age eight and grew up in the Dublin suburb of Churchtown and attended CUS Leeson Street for a period of time.[3]

Career

[edit]

Ashmawy is best known[citation needed] for 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy[4][failed verification] which was first broadcast on Sky 1. The show is based on Baz inserting his 71-year-old mother Nancy into various dare-devil situations, and documenting her typical "Irish mammy" reactions to the situations.[5][6]

In November 2015 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy won the Best Non-Scripted Entertainment award at the 2015 International Emmy Awards.[7][8]

Prior to that, Ashmawy was on the popular RTÉ Two travel show, How Low Can You Go?[9] where he appeared with co-presenters Mark O'Neill and Michael Hayes. In remarking on his experiences with that show, Ashmawy said that he loved Las Vegas where he received a lap dance from (as he describes) 'a former hooker who looked like she was in her late 50s' and said of his experiences on the set of a porn movie in California that 'We saw things there that will be in our minds for a very long time.'[10]

Ashmawy is also a sports fan who tried his skill at GAA management on the RTÉ show[2] Celebrity Bainisteoir.[11][12][13] According to The Irish Times, Ashmawy managed managing his team while wearing 'nicely polished footwear'.[14] When asked in an RTÉ Sport interview who he would like to see win the 2007 Rugby World Cup, Ashmawy joked that he was 'not going for the patriotic 'Go Ireland' I'd have to say New Zealand...typical. How boring is that. Think I've made myself feel a little sick there saying that. I'm going back....'GO IRELAND!'[15]

He appeared in Jason Byrne's award-winning prank series Anonymous. He later appeared numerous times on RTÉ One's flagship travel show No Frontiers before venturing into his own solo project Baz's Culture Clash on RTÉ Two, which he began filming in September 2008 and finished the following April,[16] travelling the world to film it.[17][18] It was aired during September and October 2009. It had initially been expected to air in March 2009.[19] For the series Ashmawy visited a coven of witches in Kells, County Meath and underwent hypnosis to allow him to meet his Egyptian ancestors.[20][19][21] Ashmaway also visited a haunted house with a group called "Leinster Paranormal".[19] He also teamed up with a group of ghostbusters to visit the haunted Carlow Shopping Centre where a little girl and some former prisoners from the old county jail were among the ghosts which were said to haunt the building.[22] The episode in the shopping centre was filmed at night and in one incident a member of Ashmawy's film crew collapsed without explanation when his body was invaded.[21] In another episode Ashmawy met a man whose diet consisted of roadkill, including badgers and cats.[20] The series was poorly received. Irish Independent critic John Boland wrote of the first episode that it "gives a new meaning to the notion of meaninglessness", and questioned the purpose of a show where Ashmawy "grinned and grimaced his way through southern California in an unserious search of alternative therapies".[23] Hilary Fannin wrote in The Irish Times that a later episode "investigated (well, that might be too strong a word for it – let's say glossed over) the world of the paranormal".[24] Paul Whitington wrote in the Irish Independent that the subjects covered in the series were "new-age nonsense".[25] His next project Baz's Extreme Worlds aired on 10 May 2010.

In addition to appearing on as television host, Ashmawy is an actor who has appeared in television dramas and other programmes.[26] He has also appeared in a plays and short films.[11] Although he says that comedy comes naturally to him, his dramaturgical background has led him to productions of classical theatre and the works of Shakespeare.[10]

In April 2015, Ashmawy hosted the Sky 1 quiz show "Fanatics" where fanatics of various things (e.g. Doctor Who) are tested on their knowledge of these things[27]

50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy

[edit]

The series was born after Ashmawy's mum and co-star Nancy, 72, announced that she wanted to do a skydive. The first series was one of the most watched programmes on Sky 1 in Ireland in 2014; season 2 was considered[who?] as delightful as the first.

The show has been licensed by Sky Vision into over 150 territories worldwide, including Canada, Australia, China, and the Middle-East. Local versions of the show have been produced in a number of key territories, including Denmark (two series), Holland and Belgium with several countries picking up the 50 Way to Kill your Mammy format, making this Sky Vision's most successful factual entertainment property to date.[28]

In November 2015 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy won the Best Non-Scripted Entertainment award at the 2015 International Emmy Awards.[7][8]

In 2016, Sky 1 aired the 3rd season of the show in a new twist to the show's format, where four new Mammies joined Baz and Nancy on their travels, changing the show to be known as 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammies.

On 12 October 2017, Ashmawy announced on Twitter that he and Nancy would be filming a one off Christmas special broadcast exclusively on RTÉ Ireland. This was followed, on 12 November, by a series of Snapchat videos of Nancy, Baz and the production crew at Dublin airport waiting to fly out to Rome for filming.

Change Your Tune

[edit]

Ashmawy hosted the music game show Change Your Tune that aired on ITV from 1 April to 20 May 2018. Produced by Twofour and filmed at The London Studios, the six-episode series featured some of the UK’s worst singers. They received intensive vocal coaching over several weeks to improve, before performing again for a chance to win a £10,000 cash prize.

The show’s theme music was composed by Andrei Basirov and Toby Jarvis of A MNEMONIC, with vocals by Nick Cox and Kaia McTernan. Upon debut, it garnered significant attention particularly as many viewers initially believed it to be an elaborate April Fools' Day joke. However, after struggling to attract a sizeable audience (peaking at around 300,000 viewers), ITV rescheduled it to an afternoon slot and ultimately cancelled the show following its first series.

Radio

[edit]

In July 2017, Ashmawy hosted his radio show That Baz Thing on RTÉ Radio 1.[29] On his show he interviewed different 3 guests every week as he explores a broad range of issues, including parenting, health, happiness and relationships.

Ashmawy co-hosted Weekend Breakfast with Baz & Lucy on RTÉ 2fm with Lucy Kennedy for 2 years.

On 4 March 2011, Ashmawy's employer, RTÉ, suspended Mr. Ashmawy for a period of one month following a drink driving incident the previous weekend.[30] His driving licence was suspended for two years as a result of the arrest and conviction[31]

Opel deal

Ashmawy is a "brand ambassador" for Opel, a deal arranged by his agent, Noel Kelly of NK Management. The deal proved controversial as it coincided with revelations about Ryan Tubridy's extra wages and the RTÉ secret payment scandal .[32]

Born in Tripoli, Libya, to an Egyptian father and an Irish mother, Ashmawy moved to Dublin at the age of eight and grew up in the Churchtown area, where he navigated challenges related to his mixed-race identity in a predominantly white Ireland. Ashmawy's career began in the early 2000s as a co-presenter on the travel show How Low Can You Go?, which marked his entry into Irish with a focus on budget adventures and humor. His breakthrough came with 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy, a Sky 1 series that paired him with his mother, Nancy Ashmawy, for comedic global escapades, earning the International Emmy for Best Non-Scripted Comedy in 2015 and multiple Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) awards. The show's success highlighted Ashmawy's self-deprecating style and familial chemistry, leading to spin-offs and international recognition. He has since expanded into radio, documentary work like Baz: The Lost Muslim exploring his heritage, and scripted projects, including creating the series for Television, in which he stars as Sam, a widowed Irish-Egyptian father and struggling scriptwriter raising three daughters. The series returned for a second season in 2025. In recent years, Ashmawy has hosted heartwarming RTÉ series such as DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland, which refurbishes homes for those in need and returned with new episodes in 2025, and The Money List, a quiz show where teams compete to complete lists for cash prizes. Other notable credits include All Bets Are Off, Wingman, and Best Place to Be, blending entertainment with social commentary on topics like gambling addiction and personal reinvention. His work often draws from personal experiences, including a strained relationship with his late father and his pride in representing diverse identities on Irish screens. On a personal note, Ashmawy is married to Tanja, who is half-Serbian, and they have two daughters together, Hanna and Mahy, while he is also a stepfather to her four children from a previous relationship and a grandfather to two granddaughters. Raised primarily by his mother Nancy and grandmother after his parents' separation, he credits their support for his resilience and has reflected publicly on regrets over not reconciling with his father before his death in 1995.

Shortly after his birth, the family moved to , , where Ashmawy spent his early childhood until the age of six. Growing up in this North African setting as the child of an Egyptian father and Irish mother, he experienced a fusion of cultural influences that underscored his mixed Egyptian-Irish heritage. This period highlighted the unique dynamics of his bicultural family, with his parents' professions—an accountant's stability and a nurse's caregiving role—providing a foundation amid the diverse environments of and . The family's eventual decision to relocate was driven by his parents' professional circumstances and the pull of his mother's Irish roots, setting the stage for their move when Ashmawy was six.

As a mixed-race of Irish and Egyptian heritage in 1980s , Ashmawy faced significant cultural adjustment, often being reminded of his "difference" in a predominantly homogeneous society with few non-white families. He was one of only two mixed-race at his school, alongside a Jewish boy, and endured derogatory terms like "," which he described as "horrible" for implying incompleteness, as well as comments questioning his Irishness, such as "You’re not Irish" or assumptions he was a foreign .
