He's back! Dylan Moran, star and creator of TV's 'Black Books' is back with a brand new show, 'What It Is', coming to Wellington this May as part of the 2009 NZ International Comedy Festival.

Due to high demand, there has been an extra show added on 11 May for Dylan Moran in Wellington. Tickets are on sale now from Ticketek for both shows on 10 and 11 May.

Moran's legendary stand up rants have sold out across the world, cementing this unkempt wordsmith's reputation as one of the foremost comics of his generation. His big screen appearances have included 'Run Fat Boy Run' and 'Shaun Of The Dead'.

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 coughs it out...

Known for his absurd observation and unique brand of dry humour, Moran is a master of comedy, combining his talents as an actor, writer and performer to incredible effect. His stand up performances continue to pack theatres with sell out runs in Australia, the UK, New York, Los Angeles, Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Gothenburg.

Born in Ireland in 1971, Dylan left school without any qualifications when he was 16. He quickly became attracted to stand up comedy and debuted in 1992 at a comedy club in Dublin. A year later he won the Channel 4 Newcomers “So You Think You’re Funny Award’ at the Edinburgh Festival and began developing his comedy routines into a one man show for which he won the prestigious Perrier Comedy Award in 1996.

In 2000 Channel 4 commissioned Dylan for the sitcom Black Books. He wrote and starred in three series (18 episodes) of this award winning television series.

Don't miss your chance to see the Perrier Award winning Moran in his fantastic new stand up show 'What It Is'. This show is sure to sell out, as it does whenever Dylan’s in town.
