Chris Williamson brings his Mostly Wise live show, exploring myths and tools for living better, blending humour, honesty and reflection.
Chris Williamson brings his Mostly Wise live show to the O2 Apollo Manchester on Wednesday 14 October 2026. It's his brand new show, and the tour takes his most thought-provoking conversations from the podcast and puts them on stage, blending humour, honesty and reflection into a live experience. The title Mostly Wise is a nod to the self-development space he's built his name in, and the show follows that same thread: exploring myths and tools for living better.
If you've come across him through the internet, you'll know the background. Williamson is a British podcaster and YouTuber who rose from reality TV to the top tier of the self-development world. In 2018 he started Modern Wisdom, a show that by 2022 had gathered more than 200 million plays worldwide. He's spoken to over 600 of the world's smartest minds — names like David Goggins, Jordan Peterson, Jocko Willink, Ryan Holiday, Robert Greene, James Clear and Andrew Huberman — and has appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu and Mind Pump Media, as well as on BBC News, ITV, BBC Radio Sounds and The Doha Debates. Mostly Wise is his new live format, and the tour is the first time he's brought those conversations to a stage.

There are VIP packages available if you want more than just a seat. The V.VIP option includes access to the sound check, early entry, a private Q&A and a meet and greet with a photo. Otherwise, it's just the show itself. Doors open at 18:30, the show starts at 19:30, and there's a curfew at 23:00, so it's a mid-week night that wraps up before midnight. The O2 Apollo Manchester is at M12 6AP.
