Momo and Uzeir were a Bosnian comedy duo made up of ethnic Bosniak Rejhan Demirdžić (2 January 1927 – 22 August 1988) and ethnic Serb Rudi Alvađ (17 July 1929 – 21 September 1988). The characters of Momo and Uzeir were created by Nikola Škrba (1922–1995). Their radio comedy show Cik Cak aired on Radio Sarajevo and was popular all over Yugoslavia. Both actors died in 1988, less than one month apart.

Demirdžić first began acting in 1943, aged 16, in the play The Mistress of the Inn at the Sarajevo National Theatre. From 1945 to 1955 he was a member of theater ensembles in Šabac, Niš and Užice, before returning to the Sarajevo National Theatre. In 1969 Demirdžić starred in Karađoz (Black-eyed), a sketch comedy television show that he co-wrote with Jurislav Korenić (1915–1974). It aired on Televizija Sarajevo until 1971.

The twin skyscrapers of the Sarajevo United Investment and Trading Company, built in 1986, were unofficially named after the duo.
