The film also includes intimate backstage access and raw up-close conversation with the cast as they discuss the significance of the history making event.
Mo says: "I'm so proud of the black British comedy circuit that I started on. The scene and it's exceptional talent have nurtured and supported me since the very start of my career. I am thrilled to share our culture and bring together some of the best comedy talent on offer in this country right now."
