2018’s got off to a pretty good start, and it’s about to get a whole lot better.

Big Narstie is about to get the job he was born to do – becoming the host of his very own TV show – along with viral comedian Mo Gilligan. The Big Narstie Show has been commissioned for a non-broadcast pilot on Channel 4, which will feature a combination of celebrity chat and straight-talking segments on current affairs, TV, trends, phone-ins and food.

After years of his cult 'Uncle Pain' and '5-pound munch' segments, Narstie has been thrust into the public eye recently, with appearances on Celebrity Gogglebox and Good Morning Britain made the grime artist go viral.

Syeda Irtizaali, Commissioning Editor, Channel 4 says, “We’re thrilled to work with Big Narstie again, as it’s clear from his previous Channel 4 appearances that he is en route to becoming something of a national treasure. It really feels like an opportunity for a brilliant and ridiculous show which flips the conventional magazine show format on its head.”

Executive producer Ben Wicks said: “Big Narstie is an incredibly talented, charismatic, charming and funny man who has some of the best turns of phrase the English language has ever known.

“We are very excited about working with him, and Mo Gilligan, the most must-see comedian on the circuit whose inimitable high-energy style is sure to take TV by storm. This is a show I cannot wait to watch let alone make.”
