Dylan Moran
He won the Perrier in 1996, starred With Charlotte Coleman in BBC's critically adored How Do You Want Me and nicked a book in Notting Hill. By turns Wilfully grumpy and utterly charming, you are as likely to see the floppy Fringer in an Edinburgh boozer as on the comedy Circuit now that he has moved to the capital.
What's your definition of love?
Two men on a beach looking for the same dropped IoIIy,
Do you have any scars on your body? If so, how on earth did they get there?
I was bitten in the face by a priest as a small boy,
What would you do if your final breath was imminent?
Play Iv1ah long With my old enemy Jong Mah.
Were you to take up shoplifting as an alternative career, what would be your nicking niche? I would steal and respray divmg bells.
There seem to be more stand-ups writing novels than doing stand-up. When can we expect the Moran meisterwork?
I’ve written several but every one gets eaten by a fox on page five.
