Mo Gilligan: Beginning, Middle & End

On this week’s episode of Beginning, Middle & End with Mo Gilligan, Mo sits down with comedian Marlon Davis for a conversation that’s as funny as it is unexpectedly deep.
Marlon takes us right back to the beginning. His school days learning fine arts, discovering creativity before comedy, and how those early artistic influences shaped the performer he’d eventually become. It’s a side of Marlon people don’t often hear about.
From there, we get into the middle including the life-altering moment he woke up from a coma and had to piece his memory, identity and sense of self back together. What does it do to you when you can’t remember parts of your own story? And how do you rebuild your confidence when life hits reset?
And of course, the end… or at least where he is now. The graft, the growth, the laughs — and the mindset it takes to survive this industry.

From Brixton estates to New York runways, and finally to the raw, unpredictable world of stand-up comedy — Michelle doesn’t do ordinary career paths. In this episode, she joins the podcast to unpack the wild pivot from modeling to comedy, the reality of chasing success across continents, and why reinvention is sometimes the bravest move you can make.
Michelle’s journey is unpredictable, fearless, and seriously funny — and this conversation is no different.

On this episode of Beginning, Middle & End, Mo Gilligan sits down with trailblazing actor, author, and former stand-up Andi Osho for a rare, expansive conversation about creativity, courage, and knowing when to walk away.
From growing up in East London to working behind the camera before stepping into the spotlight, Andi opens up about her rise through stand-up comedy, appearing on Live at the Apollo during its golden era, navigating fame, burnout, and depression — and why she ultimately left comedy at its peak. She also talks candidly about life in LA, returning home, embracing her identity as an artist, and finding freedom through writing.
With her new satirical novel Most Wanted on the way, Andi reflects on storytelling, success, and what it really means to follow your instincts — even when it means starting again.
Honest, funny, and deeply human, this is a conversation about reinvention, ownership, and creating on your own terms.

From growing up in Bradford facing bullying and racial tension, to using magic as a form of protection, Dynamo opens up about the reality behind the illusion. He speaks honestly about living with chronic illness, losing himself at the height of fame, and the moment he almost walked away from magic forever.
Dynamo also reveals incredible stories involving Dave Chappelle, Banksy, and Chris Martin — and explains why magic today isn’t about tricks, but about making people believe in themselves.
This is not just a podcast episode.
It’s a story about survival, identity, and finding purpose when everything falls apart.

This week on Beginning, Middle & End, Mo Gilligan sits down with comedy powerhouse Joanne McNally.
From selling out shows across the world to accidentally taking a sleeping pill before going on stage, Joanne talks touring exhaustion, dating while never being in the same country twice, and why success doesn’t always come with a blueprint.
She opens up about podcast power, creative freedom, being brutally honest on stage, and whether New York might be her next move.
Sharp, funny, and completely unfiltered — this is Joanne McNally exactly as she is.
