Expect a master class in comedy when Dylan Moran brings his new 'Off The Hook' show to Australia.
Moran, who has been referred to as the Oscar Wilde of comedy, has recently been sharpening his deceptively rambling stand up in unusual places including Kiev, Moscow and Kazakhstan, making him the first western comic to perform in St Petersburg – with all shows receiving five star reviews.

The star of ABC's 'Black Books', Moran spent much of last year touring the US, working on a TV pilot for ABC and made an appearance on Letterman. His new show, 'Off The Hook', is his first Australian tour in over four years, and promises to deliver more of Moran’s unique take on love, politics, misery and the everyday absurdities of life all delivered with poetical panache.
Unpredictable, startling, bizarre, but above all funny, it’s important not to be fooled by this gentle Irishman’s unkempt appearance, benign expression and softly spoken brogue. Moran's performance is an unpredictable ride – one moment an unexpectedly long silence has the audience in nervous suspense, then suddenly they erupt into hysterical laughter.
