It has taken an AGE for the DVDs to come out in Australia showing us what the real Dylan Moran is like. Black books is a wonderful show but that does not necessarily make a great comedian ( Ricky Gervais' the Office is a great show but his stand-up comedy work is lacking... ) But the same cannot be said of Dylan Moran.
For a start, Dylan Moran is a man who, like his character Bernard, is often bewildered and annoyed at popular culture today, and he does it in such a wonderful way that you can't help but laugh, even if you disagree with him. And when you do agree with him, you'll find yourself laughing to near hysteria. It's that sort of show. He is charming and clever with his audience and moves quickly from topic to topic, so that although the show only went for an hour and a half it seems infinitely diverse and rich.
Great comedy.
