Who is Mo Gilligan?
Mo Gilligan, 38, is a comedian, writer, and now documentary-maker from London. He is a devoted Arsenal fan. His comedy career began with short clips and sketches on social media, where he built a following with his eccentric characters. A viral parody, 'Cockney guys when they see a bit of sun', was shared by rapper Drake, giving him a major breakthrough. This led to co-hosting Channel 4's The Big Narstie Show with Big Narstie, and later his own show, The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan. He has also hosted the Brit Awards and now has several stand-up specials on Netflix.
Mo Gilligan's Net Worth
According to figures cited by Entertainment Daily from Idol Net Worth, Mo Gilligan's net worth is estimated at up to £18 million. However, more recent assessments suggest a more modest sum, closer to £1 million.

Marriage and Children
Mo keeps his personal life private but is reportedly engaged to model Taia Tulher, 28. The couple had a baby last year. He also has a child from a previous relationship with Selina Christoforou. Speaking to The Sun, he said fatherhood gave him 'a sense of purpose', adding: 'As much as life goes left and right and your career can go different places, I kind of always do it for my family because they keep me the most grounded.' He previously dated actress Sophie Wise from 2018 to 2022.
