Reviews

[David Gallagher · Rating 5 out of 5]

Moran, Dylan, proper noun: 1. Sociopathic comedian, best at existential stand-up. 2. Alcoholic and heavy smoker, satiric and dark, hater of technology. 3. "the man." 4. Irish legend, at the level of the Leprechauns.

Gold.

You really can listen to him go on about nothing in particular for hours and enjoy every minute of it.

His command of language, comedic timing, and delivery are some of the most polished and outstanding I've ever seen. A rare creative wit and massively underrated talent.
