British Comedian Mo Gilligan to Perform in Riga

Three-time BAFTA TV Award winner, dubbed “the funniest man in Britain” by The Times and star of the hit Netflix shows — Mo Gilligan will perform in Riga next year with his brand-new comedy show “The Mo You Know.”

The acclaimed comedian and showman has already sold out multiple tours across the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and of course, his home country — the United Kingdom. The show will take place on November 14, 2026, at Palladium Riga.

“The Mo You Know” follows Mo’s hugely successful career and his audience-favorite Netflix stand-up specials. His 2022 release “There’s MO To Life” and debut special “Momentum” — available in 190 countries, including Latvia — reveal Mo as a comedian with a big heart: no one in this world is truly bad; we all make ourselves into lovable fools sometimes as we try to navigate daily life.

Born in London to Jamaican parents, Mo masterfully portrays the multicultural nature of modern British society in his performances — recalling with affection and wit world-famous names such as Shakira, Bukayo Saka, Stormzy, Jay-Z, and Kanye West. With warmth and sharp observation, he brings these personalities into hilariously familiar real-life situations. Mo also takes his audience behind the scenes of the entertainment industry’s most absurd moments — experiences he knows firsthand, having built a dazzling career from humble beginnings in Europe’s highly competitive arts scene.

“The Mo You Know” is a unique opportunity for all comedy and stand-up lovers in Latvia to enjoy an unforgettable evening.
