Mo Gilligan: In the Moment (2026),
this is Mo Gilligan’s third Netflix stand-up special, recorded live at London’s
O2 Arena. It premiered on 3 February 2026. Mo takes on Hollywood and lives to
tell the tale. He discusses his experience of suddenly becoming famous, going
from working in retail to becoming a well-known comedian. He talks about many
things, ranging from the culture clash when he returns to his ancestral
hometown, his great-grandmother’s panic at not being able to figure out her own
age, absurd experiences at the airport, and the crazy story about a “coffin of
champagne” at a club in Hollywood.
The overall tone is lightly
positive and suited for casual entertainment. Mo’s energy and storytelling make
his jokes flow between personal reflection and cultural commentary. DM Talkies
called it “absolute pandemonium” and said the build-up to the punchline was
brilliant. The use of lighting at the O2 Arena is also impressive, and even
when watching on a small screen it still feels great. However, its aggregate
ratings are just average: 56% on KinoCheck, 6/10 on Canadian Reviews, and
6.0/10 on TMDB. So it’s not a mind-blowing special, but it’s enjoyable. There
are no big twists, and if you’ve already watched Momentum and There’s Mo to
Life, the material will feel familiar.
If you like Mo Gilligan from The
Lateish Show or his two previous specials, this is worth it. 7.5/10 for fans.
If you’re new to Mo, start with Momentum first to appreciate the development of
his material.
In my opinion:
I don’t watch much stand-up
comedy, only a few that I know. I admit this is the first time I’ve watched Mo
Gilligan, and oh my God, his jokes are so smart and funny. You know, it becomes
great comedy when the material comes from his own personal experiences. Mo
delivers it really well—his British accent, pacing, and emphasis are spot on.
There’s not much else I can say except that it’s an outstanding performance.
