There’s funny, and then there’s “Britain’s funniest man.” According to The Times of London, Mo Gilligan, 36, is the latter. Raised in South London, his humor calls on British culture, from impersonations of Essex girls at the pub to M.C.’s at the club. (Don’t worry, even Americans will laugh along.) After getting his start on YouTube, where a skyrocketing fan base included Drake, Gilligan’s 2017 debut tour completely sold out and was turned into a Netflix show. He’s since won three BAFTAs for The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan. Now he’s gearing up to participate in the comedy festival Netflix Is a Joke Fest in Los Angeles on May 3, and Mo Gilligan: In the Moment, his largest world tour yet. Here, he shares his least favorite things. —Clara Molot
Least favorite number: 17. I hate that number. There’s so much anticipation as a teenager to get to 18 in the U.K.
