"About as perfect an evening as I can recall" - The Times
Dylan Moran was born in Ireland. He left school at 16 with no qualifications and spent four jobless years ‘drinking and writing bad poetry’. He once worked as a florist for a week but hated it.
Dylan fell into comedy at age 20 after watching Ardal O’Hanlon and other comedians perform at Dublin’s The Comedy Cellar. He had a go at standup at the Comedy Cellar in 1992 and found his calling - attracted also by the need for no qualifications. Between 1995 and 1996 Dylan was writing a weekly column for The Irish Times.
Dylan’s talent was acknowledged in 1993 when he won the ‘So You Think You’re Funny’ award at the Edinburgh Festival. He then went on to become the youngest person to win the Perrier Award in 1996 at Edinburgh Festival.
In 1998 he won his first major television role in the sitcom How Do You Want Me? followed by a small role in the 1999 movie Notting Hill. In 2000, Black Books was first aired which was from an idea by Dylan. In 2004 Dylan took to the road with his killer new show Monster II.
After living in North London for many years, Dylan now lives with his family in Edinburgh.
