Mo Gilligan's biography

At a glance

  • Triple BAFTA award winning comedian
  • Host of award winning The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan
  • Founder of BAFTA winning Momo G Productions

Mo Gilligan is one of the best-known figures in British comedy, with a career that spans stand-up, television, film, publishing and production. Known for his observational wit, dynamic stage presence and ability to connect with audiences worldwide, he has built a reputation as a leading creative voice in entertainment. His work has earned him multiple BAFTA and Royal Television Society Awards, reflecting his impact both on screen and on stage. Mo first gained widespread attention after years of creating comedy sketches on social media, leading to a breakthrough when international music artist Drake shared his work. From there, he transitioned to television, co-hosting The Big Narstie Show before launching his own Channel 4 series, The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan, which went on to become an award-winning format. Alongside his television career, he has sold out major live tours, including record-breaking runs at the Hammersmith Apollo and the O2 Arena, with his performances captured in Netflix specials released to a global audience. Beyond performing, Mo is the founder of Momo G Productions, developing original entertainment across multiple platforms and creating opportunities for underrepresented talent through the Lateish Accelerator Programme. His work extends to voice acting, writing and podcasting, including hosting Mo Gilligan: Beginning, Middle and End and Mo Gilligan’s Spotlight. Mo’s creative reach continues to expand internationally. His debut film lead in the animated feature 10 Lives premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim, and his recent In the Moment world tour has sold out venues across North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Whether live on stage, on television or behind the scenes, Mo’s career reflects a commitment to both excellence in entertainment and meaningful industry change.

His live format is high-energy and audience-inclusive, shaped by a background in social media sketch comedy and refined across sold-out arena tours and Netflix specials.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Sorry, we do not accept requests for autographs, signed merchandise, fan mail, or any non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How can I report an issue or make changes to an expert profile?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.
