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.
