Mo Gilligan to host new live stand-up series on Audible

A live stand-up comedy series, Mo Gilligan’s Spotlight is to be released on Audible.

Hosted by the triple BAFTA winning comedian himself, the series will showcase some the currently under-represented and exceptional talent in British comedy.

Recorded at iconic South London venue, Up the Creek Comedy Club, the six-episode series has been specially curated by Mo himself and will feature headline names such as Eddie Kadi, Thanyia Moore and Kae Kurd.

Mo is known for championing the UK’s most promising new wave stars and the full line-up will be revealed at the live shows.

The live events are taking place on 20, 21, 22, 27 and 29 March with the podcast being available exclusively to Audible on 6 July.

Mo Gilligan said: “Since the start of my own journey, phenomenal mentors have come alongside me to help elevate and guide my career. This has now become one of the core values of my own production house Momo G and the through line across all our projects.

“The team and I are once again very proud to elevate the broad range of voices who are shaping the future of comedy.”

Aurelie De Troyer, Head of Content UK and Canada at Audible added: “We’re delighted to be working with the brilliant Mo and the team at Lucky 17 on this series.
