Dylan Moran, Apollo
Irish comic's dystopian view expressed in poetic and surreal language
Thursday, 29 October 2009
Dylan Moran is, as the ethnic stereotype would have it, a great storyteller. The Irishman doesn’t tell jokes with punchlines as such, rather he rambles on a bit and sort of makes his points along the way. As entertainment, then, his latest show, What It Is, is the sort where one smiles a lot rather than laughs out loud.
