Dylan Moran – We Got This

dylanmoran23 Dylan Moran – We Got This Bohm Comedy Dylan Moran – We Got This

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.

Hurry, this show will absolutely sell out! Don’t miss Dylan Moran .

Venue Details

He’s punch-­drunk, pissed off and sick of it all, but determined to at least wring as much black humour out of proceedings.

His comedy takes on an existential dimension, as tubby, nicotine-­starved, emasculated Moran comes to represent the struggles we all wage for meaning and connection.

High-­octane riffs from Irish master of grumpiness…spellbinding.

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.

Dylan moran announces 2023 australian tour.

Legendary Irish BAFTA and Perrier Award-winning comedian Dylan Moran is returning to Australia in 2023 with his brand new show, We Got This – his first full stand-up show since 2019’s acclaimed Dr. Cosmos.

Kicking off in Hobart on April 19, Moran will take to Launceston on April 20, Melbourne’s Hamer Hall on April 21, Adelaide’s Thebarton Theatre on April 25, Canberra Theatre on April 27, Newcastle’s Civic Theatre on April 29, HOTA on the Gold Coast on May 2, Brisbane’s QPAC concert hall on May 4, Perth Concert Hall on May 8 and Sydney State Theatre on May 11 before finishing at Wollongong Town Hall on May 13.

Stay up to date with what’s happening in and around Melbourne  here .

Moran has been called the Oscar Wilde of comedy and is renowned for his famed style – deadpan, witty and crackpot lyricism.

We Got This  is Moran’s latest sideways glance at the folly of modern-day life from the Irish comedian, fuelled by the past two years that we’ve all been living. Moran is keen to get back out in front of an audience, to take the temperature of the nation, and unpack what just happened

“We are bruised. We are fucked up. We are all sore,” he says. “It’s not just the pandemic. It’s the times and how we’ve got through it.

“Everybody’s very angry at politicians and they always are. But I’m angry at us, the way we’ve decided to live or what we’ve decided to put up with.” In particular, the multi-billion dollar tech corporations – the Facebooks and the Googles of this world – will be taking the brunt of his ire.

“I have to talk about it because it’s so enmeshed in the fabric of everything, now that we’re all having this major reaction,” he says. “Look at the way we’ve been living. Effectively, we’ve been in a miked prison cell, all sort of communicating on Zoom or whatever… I can’t believe how docile and bovine whole populations are being with these tech realities that we’ve just accepted wholesale.”

Since his early days in comedy, Moran’s reputation has grown exponentially, spreading across the globe. He was even the first English-speaking comic to play St. Petersburg in Russia, with translators on hand to interpret for those who didn’t speak English. He’s since played in Estonia and Kazakhstan – “a really fascinating” experience, he adds, and one that “makes you very appreciative of having a government that functions [by] not leaning quite so heavily on fear”.

Away from stand-up, Moran’s comedy cult status has been assured for life after co-writing and starring in Black Books, the Channel 4 show that ran for three seasons between 2000 and 2004 and won him two BAFTA awards. Playing Bernard Black, the misanthropic, frequently inebriated owner of the eponymous second-hand bookstore, the show has gained a new following of late since appearing on streaming platform Netflix.

He calls it, with typical modesty, “part of the space junk orbiting the consciousness that’s out there”, though that’s not to sound dismissive. He’s deeply appreciative of the affection held for the show. “On some level, I’m pleased to have a satellite up there. But I’m really focused on what I’m doing here. And the work that’s going on right now, obviously. Listen, if anybody enjoyed anything, I’m thrilled. Always. I really am. I mean that because that’s the whole point of it.”

Moran, who counts painting and writing poetry among his many artistic disciplines, also has a book underway, which he’s had to put aside while preparing for the tour. “I mean, I just want to carry on working to be honest with you.” For the moment, though, Moran needs to concentrate on putting the finishing touches to We Got This. And that requires some energy from the crowds too. “It’s not an object that I haul there like it’s a grand piano. It’s a thing that’s made when the audience arrive as well.” Everyone, it seems, has their part to play.

Dylan Moran likes performing to packed houses — but he doesn't want everyone there

For a man who is sometimes labelled a moody misanthrope, Dylan Moran is not afraid to concede he quite likes performing in front of a live audience.

Key points:

• Dylan Moran will tour Australia in April with his new show 'We Got This'
• In an interview with ABC Radio Adelaide, he reflected on his time in lockdown and his sense of humour
• He certainly isn't preparing to temper or tone down his act

In fact, during COVID-19 lockdowns, the Irish comedian and actor came to crave the stage in a way that took him by surprise.

"Not performing live was horrible. You don't realise how much a part of your being it is until you're not doing it," he told ABC Radio Adelaide's Stacey Lee and Nikolai Beilharz this week.

"It didn't agree with me, lockdown — I didn't like that whole thing of not seeing anybody or not being with any other human beings."

Moran is currently preparing for his first tour to Australia since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the show, We Got This, is partly a reflection of various frustrations that have built up over the past three years.

He is not one of those comics whose jokes regularly court controversy, nor one who routinely attracts the attention of tabloid newspapers after apologising — or refusing to apologise — for something he's said.

But his brand of humour can be dark, cynical, scathing and uncompromising, and one thing he is not prepared to do is soften the edge to broaden the appeal.

"I'll talk to anybody but the thing is, the idea of appealing to everybody is not appealing at all," he said.

"Why would you want to do that?

"How do you not be yourself? I don't know. Because I'm not interested in doing that."

Indeed, while Moran wants people to attend his upcoming tour, there's a caveat — the invitation isn't an open one.

"There are some people I actively don't want to come to the show. I've sent them letters," he joked.

"It's like when you don't know what's expected of you and you're meeting people maybe for the first time, or you're in some new environment, you tend to feel pretty awkward and anxious and think pretty critically of yourself because you don't know what to do.

"If you want to please everybody all the time, you're going to feel like that all the time — so no thanks."

Stuck, but not in lockdown

For many people who found themselves stuck at home, the experience of enduring repeated COVID lockdowns may have temporarily turned them into mini-versions of Bernard Black, the bibulous, bedraggled, irascible and morose bookshop owner played by Moran in the sitcom Black Books.

But Moran wasn't one of them. While he admits he went a bit "batshit", he also used his time productively, writing a new five-part comedy series, entitled Stuck, for the BBC.

"That definitely mopped up some energy," he said.

"It was great fun to do, the production was great fun, it's got great talent in it, the cast are fantastic.

"I probably spent too long on it. It was like a guy in a garage with a motorbike."

The episodes are about a quarter of an hour long, and Moran believes that the trend towards more bite-sized "content" (a term he despises) will only become stronger.

"Everybody's on their phone, as you know, all the time," he said.

"You look at people — they're in the dentist chair, they're having babies, they're on their phone.

"You're going to get programs that are seven-minutes long, five-minutes long, three-minutes long, they're going to be made and they're going to be watched."

But as much as audiences might be changing their habits and curtailing their attention spans, Moran firmly believes the live stage show must, and will, go on.

"It's very nice when a bunch of us are together," he said.

"Laughter is different in a room together with lots of people."

Comedy review: Dylan Moran, We Got This, Hamer Hall, MICF

Performing Arts

‘Moran’s desultory routine lacked cohesion and a clear narrative.’ Photo: Supplied.

Best known as the surly, cantankerous bookseller in Black Books, a TV series first produced in 2000 that then developed a cult following, Dylan Moran’s schtick as a stand-alone comic trades a lot on his erstwhile persona. Indeed, as it was in his latest tour to Melbourne, Moran’s on stage performance can appear inseparable to his role as Bernard Black.

They both share the shambolic mien, the perpetual grumpiness and the casual misanthropic worldview. In fact, the title of this particular production, We Got This , felt distinctly at odds with the material that came in dribs and drabs from Moran. It’s a phrase that normally inspires confidence, but here the show revealed more of the Irish comedian’s confusion about changes and progress in modern society. More than once he talked ironically about the trials of being a white, middle-aged, middle-class man in a world beset by gender fluidity and neurodiversity. Back when he was growing up, he reminded his audience (which ranged in age from 20 to 60-plus), men voted conservative, died of avoidable diseases and listened to Eagles covers.

Moran’s maudlin and desultory routine lacked cohesion and a clear narrative. Sometimes his one-liners hit home; other times you had to struggle to understand what his point actually was, so rambling was his delivery. When he introduced a keyboard to the proceedings, there was hope that the lacklustre tempo may become a bit more upbeat but, despite having a good voice, Moran is no musician. He relies, he pointed out, on the bass function, as he haphazardly pushed some keys and sang above the noise. Talk of gaining (and losing) sobriety garnered sympathetic responses from the crowd but disappointingly, for a showman of his calibre, there was no real heart or sustained storytelling in this stop/start, self-indulgent delivery.

Read: Opera review: Ferruccio Furlanetto In Concert , Melbourne Recital Centre

We Got This lacked incisive, insightful commentary; the penis jokes and comments about the differences between men and women just seemed tired and uninspired. Listening to Moran hold forth about a range of topics, it seemed as though he was out of touch and struggling to remain relevant. The whole show actually felt like a montage of Grampa Simpson shaking his fist at the clouds – the meme that attests to a failure to understand and control one’s personal life or wider environment. More tragic than funny.

Dylan Moran: We Got This   was performed at Hamer Hall from 21-23 April 2023 as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival .

Arts & entertainment, design & style, travel & leisure, search concrete playground, dylan moran announces 2015 australian tour.

The master of comedy at its surliest is taking his brand new show Australia-wide.

Returning to Australia with all the flair of a growling octogenarian swirling a glass of wine in one hand, the brilliantly manic Dylan Moran has announced his brand new comedy tour Off the Hook will be stopping at 12 locations across the country this July to August.

The Irish comedian, who won our hearts as the creator and star of Black Books , is celebrated across the globe for his brilliant brand of rambling, brutally sharp stand-up comedy. Though you may hear Moran most frequently described as "curmudgeonly", the charm and intelligence of his manic comedy are hypnotic as he bombards audiences with his thoughts on everything from ageing and politics to kids, love and misery.

Moran is coming to Australia straight off the back of a stint touring around the less likely locales of Kiev, Moscow and Kazakhstan — as well as becoming the first Western comic to perform in St Petersburg — with his surly ways winning him acclaim along the way.

Bringing an always entrancing stage presence of slurring insights and bizarrely poetic complaints, broken by hysterical cackling and sips of wine, Moran's tour promises you comedy of the highest, most unpredictable kind.
