Dylan Moran UK tour, why no Irish dates ?

    Anyone know why Moran has a huge UK tour scheduled and no Irish dates aside from the Belfast one ?

    His film "A Film With Me In It" hasn't been released in the UK and he's not playing any gigs here where it is on release ? Major fuck up there I think. A very big missed opportunity no ?

    Probably as he has gone the way of norton, wogan and o'briain who all embraced being "english"

    Eh how do you figure that? The guy lives in Edinburgh, Scotland.

    Perhaps because we're not in the UK? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,183 ✭✭✭ironictoaster


    Cause Ireland isn't apart of the UK : /

    EDIT:

    Damn your cheekyness got ahead of me!

    Eh lads, plenty of bands, acts, shows, comedians , whatever, will do a show in Ireland when doing a UK show.

    I meant in terms of when money is involved, wogan speakin of england as if he was born there, norton speakin of "us british public" and o briain slaggin the Irish sense of humour (and no not in a good take the piss way) more so then where he lays his hat

    Oh I know what he's said about Ireland and I know that he's made his money on Brittish television, it doesn't bother me. He came from the back arse of Wexford, well he says he did. He's a moron anyway, an unfunny one at that and he even fails at recounting stories of aul Ireland ah to be sure to be sure on Brittish telly. See his Q.I appearance where he talks about working in a pub pulling his first Guinness. Dry shite.

    Anyway, anyone here in teh know then ? Who would Moran be booked under ? Has he a publicist or agent I can contact ? His version of aul Ireland is at least funny regardless of wether or not he's from here. The man can tell a joke.

    Has anyone any contact info for Moran's management/publicist/agency ?
    The guy doesn't seem to have an official site


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,371 ✭✭✭✭Zillah


    I saw him in Manchester. Fairly lack lustre, he seemed to forget most of his material for the first half and just rambled on rather unamusingly. He got back on form for the second half but overall fairly disappointing.

    I also found it odd that he has no Irish dates though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,443 ✭✭✭Red Sleeping Beauty


    Moran's style is to get sidetracked, ramble on about somethng else and make a vain attempt at completing the original story/joke.

    Which begs the question, why do you want to bother seeing him?

    His agent is mick perrin.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,443 ✭✭✭Red Sleeping Beauty


    Why do you think I'd want to bother seeing him ? What sort of silly question is that ?

    Wanted to make it to Glasgow for his gig next month but my girlfriend's on tour so it's a no-go.

    I'm there in September. Friday night - see you there guys. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,443 ✭✭✭Red Sleeping Beauty


    Glasgow gig's been sold out since before Xmas I think. Shame the Pavillion's website was never updated as I left it too late to get a ticket. Really can't understand why tickets for comedy gigs are sold so far in advance.
    Ah well, good luck to anyone getting tickets tomorrow :)

    Has he sold out all those dates? :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,443 ✭✭✭Red Sleeping Beauty


    Don't know/ don't think so...

    I hate ticketwanker's site so I wasn't bothered to see if there's tickets available, too much hassle but none of them have either "sold out" or "currently not on sale" under the dates. At the very least there'll still be standing tickets I'd assume :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 604 ✭✭✭Goolay


    Rang Ticketmaster there, only standing (at the back) available for all dates. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 432 ✭✭Mingey


    Forgot about this till today. Sold Out :(

    There might be Moran (geddit ;)?) sale later though

    Surely not ? they only went on sale on Monday ? Where the hell do people get the money so quick to buy so many tickets?

    He may do a Tiernan and just move in to Vicar St for a few months!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,443 ✭✭✭Red Sleeping Beauty


    [tongue wedged in cheek]
    If you're such a huge fan you would've travelled to either England or Scotland or to Belfast to see him first :)
