Beyond The Joke

James Acaster has revealed he accidentally bought shares in a company thinking it was Netflix. They were instead for the similarly titled NextUp - a London based start-up that streams stand-up comedy specials. The confusion came about whilst James attempted to browse the web whilst snacking - a valuable lesson for all.

Mo Gilligan is to release a stand-up special on Netflix. ‘Momentum’ will be globally released on Netflix in 190 countries on Monday 30th September.

The show was shot at the historic Hackney Empire and features a full live band. The special was directed by Chris Howe with David Geli, Pollyanna McGirr and Mo Gilligan serving as Executive Producers. Co produced by Momo G, Mo’s own company and Lucky 17, the sister production company to multi award winning talent agency UTC Artist Management (UTC).

Rob Beckett has extended his Wallop tour into 2020 due to demand.

His 2019 dates are here and his 2020 dates are below.

In a darkened cellar, aided only by some hats, a few sheets, some torches and a mop, three young men re-enact World War Two.

We meet a young man so lonely he has only a mop, a table and ashtray for company, an evil actor, the man who does everything by the book and a host of strangely eccentric British generals and camp dastardly Nazis.
