Off the back of a storming host role at this year’s BRIT Awards, double BAFTA winning British comedian Mo Gilligan returns for his second Netflix stand-up special with Mo Gilligan: There’s Mo To Life - out today.
Following on from his smash hit, total sell out 2021 nationwide tour, the comedic star takes centre stage at the packed Hammersmith Apollo, exploring his teenage years, working in retail, relationship dynamics and much more.
Mo Gilligan is a true breakout star. With his high-energy style and stunning physicality, the history-making stand up, Masked Singer judge and social media mega star, is now one of the UK's most celebrated comics.
Recent career highlights include hosting the iconic BRIT Awards, his debut book release, recording 4 series of The Big Narstie Show, producing his first documentary, launching the celebrated Big Breakfast reboot and landing his own hit Channel 4 series The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan, which bagged him one of those spectacular BAFTAs for the Entertainment Performance Award and was recently commissioned for a 3rd and 4th bumper series commission.
2021’s There’s Mo To Life Tour sold out in record time, including 10 sell out shows at London’s Eventim Apollo and last December, Mo made history once again with Mo Gilligan and Friends – The Black British Takeover at London’s 20,000-seater arena The O2. The biggest show of his career to date, it went down as one of the most legendary events in recent British stand-up history.
