Mo Gilligan

Mo Gilligan is a man who needs no introduction. Known across Britain for his side-splitting humour and wonderful wit, he’s a phenomenal comedian and host whose ability to brighten any space he occupies sets him apart. Not only has Mo been recognised by The Times as “The Funniest Man in Britain”, but he has also worked alongside the likes of Russel Howard and James Cordon to put smiles on the faces of comedy lovers across the nation. Naturally charismatic and impossible to turn your eyes away from, Mo has quickly become a beloved part of Britain’s comedy scene.

Like many of this era’s incredible comics, Mo started off small. While working in retail, he spent his spare time putting together skits and comedy videos that he would go on to upload across social media. These videos – inspired by Chris Rock and Dave Chappell - soon enough gained plenty of traction. Before Mo knew it, even Drake was quoting his comedy on his Instagram! The rest, as it seems, is history. In 2018, Mo was invited to Co-Host The Big Narstie Show with rapper Big Narstie, which would go on to earn a British Television Award and a Royal Television Society Award for its late night, alternative humour.

From that point on, Mo’s career opportunities started to boom. Between the premier of his Friday night late-night chat show “The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan”, his introduction to “The Masked Singer” judging panel, the debut of his first stand up tour “Coupla Cans” selling over 50,000 tickets, and the exciting release of his Netflix Original Stand Up Specials “Momentum” and “There’s Mo to Life”, Mo has explored every opportunity that’s come his way. Truly, this is a standup comedian who has gone from strength to strength in an impressively short amount of time.

What makes Mo Gilligan such a beloved icon is his ability to connect with audiences in an entirely new way. His comedy is genuine, with his jokes about his childhood, family, and friends able to resonate with the lived experiences of listeners. This authenticity is what people have come to expect from Mo, and it’s what keeps his comedy so relevant in today’s era of standup.
