Big Narsties co-host on his award-winning show is the decorated comedian Mo Gilligan, who has previously won a Bafta for his own late-night show ‘The lateish show with Mo Gilligan’ which won the Bafta for best entertainment performance in 2019. The comedian recently announced his upcoming show at the 02 arena ‘Mo Gilligan + friends: the black British takeover’ a night set to celebrate the talented black British comedians in the current circuit.

The two-time Bafta winner has become one of the most successful UK comedians in the last two years with his own Netflix special in 2019, countless sold-out tours and now a second bafta to add to his highly impressive resume.

35-year-old Big Narstie has been a member of the UK’s grime scene for nearly 20 years, having started rapping in 2002. The bafta winner has put out 15 projects, his latest being ‘BDL bipolar’ in 2018 an album title given as an ode to his fan base, the base defence league. 

Prior to becoming a mainstay in the mainstream media the Brixton born rapper had a successful ‘uncle pain’ show on the Youtube channel Grime report in which he would solve dilemmas that his fans would send in.

Following the release of the first episode of The Big Narstie show in 2018 it has gone on to win three awards; The Best Entertainment Show at the National Reality Television Awards, The Best Entertainment Performance at the Royal Television Society Awards and the final being the Best Entertainment show at this year’s Baftas.

The show had just finished airing its third season in April, and after their Bafta win, I’m sure fans of the late-night talk show will be hoping for a fourth.
