What It Is is ... Dylan Moran

So this is what it is. A bunch of us decided it was about time we went to a stand-up comedy thingy and the suggestion was Dylan Moran in Manchester. A quick train trip, some shopping and some Wetherspoon's fun later and we're heading into the Palace Theatre for "What it is" with Dylan.

We were sat on the highest balcony area which tested my vertigo somewhat but at least we could see everything (from a sorta retro rpg overhead viewpoint that is). He was funny, pretty similar to how he was in Black Books (someone shouted "where's your wine!?" at the beginning) and before long he was sporting what looked like a rose wine. No cig though due to the new rules so this was substituted by chocolate. A wise choice in my opinion.

By the second half the drink had settled in and he was babbling away when not swearing in the general direction of camera flashes (he seems to really hate pics being taken). Time seemed to fly by as he ranted and we chuckled until it was over and we were back in Wetherspoons (We couldn't get into Fab Cafe while Colin Baker was doing a talk, invite only and all that).
