0:00 1:06:04

Is there a reason so many comedians can struggle with their mental health? Mo Gilligan knows all too well that finding the funny in everything can sometimes mean having to suppress sadness.

In this chat, Fearne and Mo talk about how a single passing comment can stay with you and eat away at your self-esteem over time, and why we need to be better at celebrating our talent and achievements.

Plus, can scrolling through memes be a positive form of escapism when you’re low...?

Mo Gilligan: Beginning, Middle, and End is available to listen to now!
