DYLAN MORAN
Not quite sure what they put in the water down Navan way at the end of the 19605, but for a town whose population is equivalent to a three-quarters full Comedy Store to spawn two future Perrier winners is quite some feat. Pierce Brosnan also hails from those parts, but that's probably another story. Whatever the reason for this Spurting of the comedy genes in County Meath, papas Moran and Tiernan should be warmly thanked. While Tommy Tiernan has continued to plough away at his art with immaculate success — especially now that he's decided that the TV world, post-Small Potatoes and The Stand-Up Show, might not be for him after all — Dylan Moran has successfully blended exquisite stand-up with a burgeoning acting career.
One of the more disturbing filmic images of recent years was witnessing his fate as the pompous David in Shaun of the Dead, but Moran is more likely to be viewed in his movies or TV appearances as a grumpy, young- ish man rather than brunch for zombies. His last tour, the coincidentally titled Monster, won him rave reviews and increasing audience acclaim. The flights of surreal fancy merged with accounts of how annoying life can be when you’re a parent and dealing with kids acting beyond their years, or the trauma of getting older and not quite understanding the vagaries of hip hop; all of it as infectiously hilarious as it was so very, very true. Now he's back with a national tour dubbed Like, Totally in which he will ramble on amusingly about US imperialism, Catholic faith and the way Germans talk. If all this is what apparent discontentment does for an artist, then let‘s hope he stays grumpy. (Brian Donaldson)
