News Article for Tuesday 10th November 2009

Dylan Moran's latest stand-up show What It Is has been playing to packed-out houses across the UK, Australia and Scandinavia. Tickets for his current six-week west end residency at London's Apollo theatre are without doubt the hottest in town. For all those who have not been lucky enough to secure seats to see this master of comedy there is finally the opportunity to see what all the fuss is about when the live DVD becomes available to buy and own on DVD on 23rd November 2009 from Universal Pictures UK.

What It is was recorded Live in Australia during Dylan's recent sell out visit. It shows exactly why Moran star of Black Books, Shaun of the Dead, Run Fat Boy Run and A Film With Me In It is one of this country's greatest stand up's. Against the backdrop of The Sydney State theatre Dylan stumbles onto the stage, picks up his audience and sweeps them away on a nicotine -stained cloud. This hedonistic trip through a series of wonderfully emotive and poetic observations is a bittersweet journey, a journey, where pain and pleasure, collide, dreams curdle and potential disappears over a warped horizon. What it is will leave you breathless, crying with laughter and nursing the sweetest of hangovers ...

Dylan Moran's stand up shows have sold out across the world. From New York and LA through Europe and onto Australasia, Monster I, Monster II and Like Totally have cemented this unkempt wordsmith's reputation as one of the foremost comics of his generation. Likened to Dave Allen and labelled 'The Oscar Wilde of Comedy' Dylan is unpredictable, bizarre, elegiac, often cruel but above all painfully funny. Moran sees through the joys and disappointments of human existence with the sensibility and intense perception of a man teetering on the edge. He chews life up and spits it out stamping it into the pavement as he goes.
