Dylan Moran
THE STAR OF TV’S BLACK BOOKS RETURNS TO NZ FOR A NATIONAL TOUR
Following a sold out 2006 tour, the creator and star of TV’s ‘Black Books’, DYLAN MORAN returns to New Zealand for a
national tour starting in Auckland on May 9th
Known for his absurd observation and unique brand of dry humour, Moran is a master of comedy, combining his talents as
an actor, writer and performer to incredible effect.
Born in Ireland in 1971, Dylan left school without any qualifications when he was 16. He quickly became attracted to
stand up comedy and debuted in 1992 at a comedy club in Dublin. A year later he won the Channel 4 Newcomers “So You
Think You’re Funny Award’ at the Edinburgh Festival and began developing his comedy routines into a one man show for
which he won the prestigious Perrier Comedy Award in 1996.
In 2000 Channel 4 commissioned Dylan for the sitcom BLACK BOOKS. He wrote and starred in three series (18 episodes) of
this award winning television series
MORAN is unpredictable, startling, bizarre, but above all brilliant and hilariously funny. It’s important not to be
fooled by this gentle Irishman’s unkempt appearance, benign expression and softly spoken brogue. Watching MORAN perform
is an exhilaratingly unpredictable ride. At one moment an unexpectedly long silence has the audience in nervous
suspense, then, suddenly they erupt into hysterical laughter. In the words of The London Observer; “Dylan Moran makes
you laugh so hard you have to put your head between your knees and gasp for air".
DYLAN MORAN is effortlessly comfortable in the medium of stand-up. In this guise he takes you on an unpredictable
journey that shifts fluidly from surreal fantasy to acerbic observation via linguistic gymnastics and flashes of the
sublime. The effect is overwhelmingly funny and unforgettable.
