Andi Osho on Creativity, Control & Letting Go

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.
