Dylan Moran – Dr Cosmos

Dylan Moran – Dr Cosmos

Perhaps best known for his roles in Black Books and Shaun Of The Dead Irish comedian Dylan Moran is set to bring his acclaimed stand-up show, Dr Cosmos, to Sydney from this coming Tuesday.

When asked about the inspirations behind Dr Cosmos Moran told City Hub, “we live in an age of quick-fix merchants or snake oil salesman. So it’s based on that idea of yet another guy trying to solve the world’s problems.” Thanks to his famed deadpan, witty, crackpot style of delivery and unique interpretations of the world this show promises to take fans on an unmissable journey.

According to Moran one of his major goals with his comedy is to make people think.

“Come along, you’ll have a laugh or maybe it will make you think. I believe thinking and laughing go together so it’s good fun for me.”

The upcoming show at the Opera House will be just the third show in an epic two-month-long tour which will see Moran playing right across the country. Although this is a long tour Moran said he is well prepared, “I’ve been on the road for a little while now, so I’m pretty roadworthy.”

With such a long tour Moran also explained that he expects the show to be vastly different on opening night and closing night.

“The show is changing all the time, which actually gives it a second life on the road as it becomes another show really. Australia will give [the show] it’s own feel… I sort of establish an Australian branch.”

Finally, for those die-hard fans of Black Books sadly Moran squashed all hopes when asked if we could see a return in the near future, “No, no, no. I’m writing something else for BBC, which should be out next year with all things going well.”

Oct 29-31. Opera House, Bennelong Point, Sydney. $91.70+b.f. Tickets & Info: www.sydneyoperahouse.com
