Comedian Mo Gilligan puts fried chicken cravings under a microscope in Big Chicken A Fast Food Conspiracy, a 2026 British documentary directed by Liana Stewart that spends 28 days chasing an answer most people never think to ask.
What is Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy about?
The documentary follows a single, deceptively simple premise: what happens when Mo Gilligan eats a fried chicken diet for 28 straight days while touring both the UK and the US? Framed as an experiment rather than a stunt, the film uses that stretch of time to pull back the curtain on why fried chicken cravings feel so hard to resist and what sits behind the industry that keeps supplying them. Along the way, voices from food science, public health, and the supply chain widen the conversation beyond one comedian's plate, turning a personal challenge into a broader look at appetite, marketing, and habit. The tone stays observational and curious rather than preachy, letting the people interviewed carry the argument.
About the cast
Mo Gilligan anchors the documentary as its on-camera guide, joined by contributors including Marcus Collins, Enam Abood, Alice Driver, David Ajao, Laura Schmidt, Ashley Gearhardt, and Philip Lymbery, whose combined perspectives range from comedy and food culture to health research and food-system policy.
