Dylan Moran

rdfs:comment

Moran was born in Navan, Co. Meath in the Republic of Ireland, on November 3, 1971. He attended the St. Patrick's Classical School, where he was first attracted to the idea of stand-up comedy. There, he met fellow Irish comedians Tommy Tiernan and Hector Ó hEochagáin. At 16 years of age, he left school with no qualifications and spent four years 'drinking and writing bad poetry'. He briefly worked as a florist, however, resigned after a week as he hated it. Dylan Moran began stand up as a child (he grasped the mic covered in blood and recovering from the stress of being born), where he would trade witty remarks for red wine, cigarettes and hair-care advice. Dylan did not win the Perrier Comedy Award in 1996, but picked up the prize for Best Irish Drunk, the prize, ironically, being 684 AA chips. Together with the beard Bill Bailey, he starred in the TV sitcom Black Books in which he played bookshop owner Maximus Blackstone, who was a drunken Irishman with floppy hair that swears, smokes and slaughters those who fight in the coalition of the Evil (namely, Iraq, Iran, Iranistan, Wales and Noel Edmonds).

Moran was born in Navan, Co. Meath in the Republic of Ireland, on November 3, 1971. He attended the St. Patrick's Classical School, where he was first attracted to the idea of stand-up comedy. There, he met fellow Irish comedians Tommy Tiernan and Hector Ó hEochagáin. At 16 years of age, he left school with no qualifications and spent four years 'drinking and writing bad poetry'. He briefly worked as a florist, however, resigned after a week as he hated it. Dylan Moran began stand up as a child (he grasped the mic covered in blood and recovering from the stress of being born), where he would trade witty remarks for red wine, cigarettes and hair-care advice. Dylan did not win the Perrier Comedy Award in 1996, but picked up the prize for Best Irish Drunk, the prize, ironically, being 684 AA chips. Together with the beard Bill Bailey, he starred in the TV sitcom Black Books in which he played bookshop owner Maximus Blackstone, who was a drunken Irishman with floppy hair that swears, smokes and slaughters those who fight in the coalition of the Evil (namely, Iraq, Iran, Iranistan, Wales and Noel Edmonds). After appearing as the vicious warlord Mohammed Farrah Aidid in Ridley Scott's gritty war drama Shaun of the Dead, based on a true battle in downtown Soho where a platoon of Americans were surrounded by thousands of Somali Militia, he developed an interest in politics, and, in particular, being a vicious Warlord. Together with Bailey, who starred in Shekhar Kapur's Period epic sequel, Hot Fuzz, about the rise to greatness of Queen Elizabeth and thus gained an interest in becoming a bearded virgin queen who looks like a Klingon, he worked to gain power through the back door...no, that is not a gay inuendo. Sheep also feature prominently in Dylan's life. Sheep are fluffy, cuddly and particularly fond of Kiwis.
