UK comedy star Mo Gilligan is returning to Australia and New Zealand in 2026 as part of his biggest world tour yet.
The triple BAFTA-winning stand up sensation is gearing up for his biggest year ever, with “The Mo You Know” tour set for the United States, Canada, Singapore, UAE, Europe, UK, as well as Australia and New Zealand.
Kicking off at Perth’s Astor Theatre on Saturday, July 11 2026, Gilligan will then bring his special blend to comedy to shows in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney on July 14, 16 and 17. He’ll then cross the Tasman for shows at Auckland’s SkyCity Theatre on July 19 and The Piano, Christchurch, on July 20.
Previously named “The Funniest Man in Britain” by The Times, Gilligan’s debut stand up tour was a total sell out, which included a huge two week residency in London’s West End. The show was recorded as his debut Netflix Original “Momentum”, which enjoyed global release in 190 countries.
In 2021, he went back on tour with “There’s Mo to Life” which achieved another total sell out run, which included a remarkable 10 dates at the Hammersmith Eventim Apollo and a history making O2 Arena show. In 2022, he released his second Netflix special to great acclaim.
The multi award-winning entertainment format “The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan” saw him win his first BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance in 2020, swiftly followed by his second for Best Comedy Entertainment Programme in 2022. Gilligan went on to become a long-standing judge on “The Masked Singer” and released his first book “That Moment When…” with Penguin Books. 2024 kicked off with the release of his debut film lead in animated feature “10 Lives”, which made its US premiere at the internationally renowned Sundance Film Festival.
