BAFTA and Perrier award-winning comedian Dylan Moran is bringing his brand new stand-up show ‘DOLLA HO’ to his homeland this autumn with choice servings of his thoughts on everything and anything – delivered with his trademark poetic panache.
Throughout the summer of 2024, Dylan traversed the highways and byways of Ireland for a ‘Work In Progress Wander’ which saw him craft hours of new material throughout 50 shows in 35 towns. In venues ranging from the backroom of a pub in West Cork, to arts centres in Donegal, fans got a front row seat for the creative process in its unpredictable form.
The fruits of these flights of fancy have now been distilled into a brand new hour of stand-up from one of Ireland’s comedy heroes.
Tickets go on sale 10am Thursday 26th June from dylanmoran.com

Comments Off on A Work In Progress Wander – Irish Tour 2024

“In his heightened ideas and vocabulary, Moran compulsively swerves clichés as he builds up layers of laughs… funny and fascinating, and utterly deserving of his place in the modern classics” – The Times
Comments Off on Just the Tonic Comedy Shindig with Dylan Moran
Just the Tonic’s Comedy Shindig is back in the fancy grounds of Melbourne Hall
Tucked neatly inside a walled rose garden in these impressive surroundings, you are covered from the elements as you gulp away on a drink and laugh at the best comedy the country has to offer
Covered stage, and audience, but with open sides. A fully stocked bar, and food stalls
How can it be you have spent a whole ten minutes staring at a banana?
Why do you always do stuff like that?
Why do you never do the other really great things where it’s much, much better – and afterwards you don’t want to saw off your own face and post it back to yourself with not quite enough stamps?
Also, learn how to make breakfast not even knowing you are out of bed
Diagnose the mirror, reason with the mice and boil yoghurt blindfolded.
Enjoy the fruits of hurtling cognitive decline and your neighbours sprawling ghastliness, absence of humanity and so, so much more.
These times have not been easy.
We Got This is the brand new show from BAFTA and Perrier award winning comedian Dylan Moran. It promises to be a joyously furious romp through the frustration and folly of modern day life.

Moran has been called the Oscar Wilde of comedy and his famed style – deadpan, witty and crackpot lyricism – promises to be an unmissable journey through his interpretations of the world, swerving cliche to offer a cutting blow to our idiosyncrasies.
