He has spent much of the last year touring the US whilst working on a TV pilot for ABC and an appearance on Letterman. This new show, Off The Hook, his first UK tour for three years, promises to deliver more of Moran’s unique take on love, politics, misery and the everyday absurdities of life all delivered with poetical panache. For any lover of comedy this is the must see show of 2015
