Dylan Moran - Live on the Monster tour | Audio Book
This comedy audio book captures the Irish stand-up genius Dylan Moran - of "Black Books" fame - at his brilliant best.
This recording from his Monster tour was captured in Dublin in 2004 and will have you in stitches. Funny, effortless, brilliant, his hilarious world-weary attitude as well as his sheer genius
observation all come across very well.
His often apparent drunkenness and his somewhat grumpy but warm and engaging delivery make him very similar to Dave Allen from the Seventies and Eighties.
With a rich vocabulary, Moran has a surreal way of expressing things, accompanied by a wonderful lyrical Irish Whimsy. He just speaks his mind, whatever his
mind may be saying at the time.
Seamlessly flowing from one topic to another, Moran brings his razor-like wit to bear on almost every subject of modern life:
* children, and how they resemble drunks
* young people, women, celebrities
* music, drink, drugs and the non-smoking brigade
* Iraq, the French, the Irish, and particularly Irish hair!
* modern technology, computers, mobile phones
* the corrupting influence of hotel rooms
Here are some typical sayings of Dylan Moran:
"In the old days in Ireland, people all styled their hair with buttermilk and there were four, yellow, tawny, piano-pub-key teeth between a family."
"Heroin - yeah a great buzz, but it *can* give you a bit of a jippy tummy!"
"People who complain about smoking remind me of the people I used to live with who left notes. 'Please can somebody put the bin out in the area marked bins, Tina'. I used to leave a few notes for Tina myself - 'Dear Tina, everybody hates you. Even people you haven't met yet. Your Mum called just to say she's glad you haven't been in touch'."
"A grey, tiny starving little cat with diarrhoea, sitting on a mattressless, sprung iron bed, with its huge eyes mewing at you. Smoking as well, probably - *that's* your potential!"
