Dylan Moran - Like, Totally... Dylan Moran Live DVD

Advantages: Amusing, some great observations
Disadvantages: A bit short, his other work's a bit funnier

~~~ Dylan Moran ~~~ I first came across Dylan Moran in his role of Bernard Black in the TV series ‘Black Books’. Whilst I enjoyed his ‘performance’ as a grumpy, drunken bookstore owner, I mainly watched the show because of Bill Bailey and so never really thought much about following up his career. It wasn’t until I stayed over a friend’s of mine who showed me his first stand-up DVD, ‘Monster’ that I really began thinking about him as a comedian. ...

It was with some interest then that when ‘Dylan Moran – Like, Totally…Live’ appeared in my Amazon suggestions that I thought it might be well worth checking out.

...it wasn't unwatchably bad, but just didn't live up to the level of humour in the first DVD. I think strangely enough, in this DVD, Dylan Moran just wasn't acting 'drunk Irishman' enough for me. Maybe to your taste, but don't expect a repeat of his first stand up show. ... Read review

Advantages: Very funny, gentle, clever
Disadvantages: a bit short, not many extras

...I have always loved Dylan Moran's work, especially black books and was not disappointed by this clever, easy comedy. It's not for kids - a bit swearier than his previous shows - but nothing outrageously crude. Moran wanders through a variety of subjects, centering on life, love and families. I felt the show was a bit short - presumably it has been cut - but as a veteran of many of comedy tours and shows I did feel a bit shortchanged. Moran has ... Read review
