Briti stand-up sensatsioon Mo Gilligan on võtnud eesmärgiks pimedasse Eesti sügisesse paraja annuse naeru tuua, astudes oma värske tuuri “The Mo You Know” käigus läbi ka Tallinnast. Gilligani saab näha 13. novembril 2026 Salme Kultuurikeskuses, kus ta oma terava huumori ja nakkava energiaga loob unustamatu elamuse igale stand-up’i fännile.
Gilligan sündis 1988. aastal Londonis ning koomikurajale astus internetti sketšide postitamisega. Pöörane tähelend järgnes aga pärast seda, kui räppar Drake üht tema videot Instagramis jagas. Siit edasi läks kõik juba ludinal: kiirelt said hitiks tema komöödiaesinemised, teda kutsuti Channel 4 jutusaatesse, ta võttis panelistina osa Suurbritannia “Maskis laulja” ja “Maskis tantsija” saadetest. Gilliganil on äratuntavalt värske ja publikuga hästi suhestuv huumor, milleks saab ta peamiselt inspiratsiooni igapäevaelust, briti kultuurist ja ka oma lapsepõlvest.
Koomik on töötanud kaubandusvõrgus, kuid nüüd on ta üks briti komöödiamaastiku äratuntavamaid nägusid – see kõik on tulnud aga tänu tublile tööle ja tõsiasjale, et ta võtab oma kunsti tõepoolest südamega. Kord pani sõber ta kirja stand-up’i võistlusele ning ta võitiski 50 naela. “See oli esimene kord, kui mulle maksti selle eest, mida ma armastan,” meenutas ta hiljutises intervjuus. “Nii ma jätkasin enda kõikjale toppimist, korraldasin aina enam sõusid, täiustasin oma huumorit. Ma teadsin alati, et ma olen naljakas, aga selle kunstiks muutmine oli tõeliselt keeruline osa.”
2019. aastal jõudis tema Netflixi erisaade “Mo Gilligan: Momentum” laiema publikuni, tõestades, et ta on suurel laval olemist väärt. 2024. aastal alustas Gilligan ka oma isikliku podcastiga “Mo Gilligan: Beginning, Middle and End”, jagades erinevaid lugusid ja kaadritaguseid momente oma elust ja karjäärirajalt. Ta on võitnud kolm BAFTA auhinda ning The Times on teda nimetanud Suurbritannia kõige naljakamaks meheks.
Gilligan, kelle esinemisstiil on tõeliselt energiline, on astunud üles lavadel üle kogu maailma. Tema viimane tuur “The Mo You Know” on kõige ambitsioonikam: koomik külastab paljusid paiku Ameerikas, Kanadas, Austraalias, Uus-Meremaal, Singapuris ja Euroopas, jõudes sealhulgas ka Tallinna. Mo Gilliganist on kiirelt saanud üks Suurbritannia nõutumaid koomikuid, kelle kasvav ülemaailmne publik Netflixis ja sotsiaalmeedias ei jõua tema värskeid nalju ära oodata.

British stand-up sensation Mo Gilligan is set to bring laughter to the Estonian autumn with his brand-new tour “The Mo You Know”. On 13 November 2026, the three-time BAFTA winner will take the stage at Salme Cultural Centre, delivering sharp observational comedy and infectious energy to his growing global fanbase.
Gilligan, born in 1988 in London, rose to fame in 2017 when rapper Drake shared one of his sketches on Instagram. What followed was a meteoric rise: hit comedy specials, a Channel 4 talk show, and roles as a panelist on “The Masked Singer UK” and “The Masked Dancer UK”. Gilligan is known for his fresh and relatable humour, drawing inspiration from daily life, British culture, and his own upbringing.
From working in retail to becoming one of the most recognisable faces in comedy, Gilligan’s rise has been fuelled by hard work and heart. Gilligan made his first £50 from a comedy competition his mate put him up for. “It was the first time I ever got paid to do what I love,” he said in a recent interview. “I just kept plugging away at it, doing more shows and making [my comedy] better. I always knew I was funny, but it was really turning it into a craft which was the difficult part.”
His Netflix special (“Mo Gilligan: Momentum”) reached global audiences in 2019. In 2024, Gilligan also launched his new podcast “Mo Gilligan: Beginning, Middle and End”, showcasing his storytelling chops and behind-the-scenes moments from his life and career.
Known for his high-octane performance style, Gilligan has sold out arenas and appeared on stages around the world. His latest tour, “The Mo You Know”, is his most ambitious yet, with stops in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the UAE, and across Europe – including Tallinn. He has won three BAFTA awards, and The Times has named him the funniest man in Britain.
Gilligan has quickly become one of the UK’s most in-demand comedians, with sold-out arena shows and growing global audiences thanks to his Netflix special and viral social media presence. With audiences from London to Los Angeles laughing along, Gilligan has become a global voice in modern comedy – blending humour, culture, and social commentary in a style that’s completely his own.
Presale for Mo Gilligan’s “The Mo You Know” in Tallinn on 13 November 2026 at Salme Cultural Centre is available to Live Nation Concert Club members on Wednesday, 24 September at 10AM. General ticket sales begin on Friday, 26 September at 10AM via Piletilevi online and official sales points.
