Black Books star and stand-up comedian Dylan Moran is coming to Swindon in the new year.

The Irish comedy star is performing at the Swindon XL Comedy Club in the Wyvern Theatre on Sunday, January 19 2025.

The evening's performances start at 7.30pm, with Dylan appearing as the headline act alongside three other comedians Andrew Maxwell, Laura Lexx and Esther Manito.

He co-wrote and starred in the Channel 4 sitcom Black Books, winning two BAFTAS for his performance in the show.

Dylan is also well-known for his roles in popular films Shaun of the Dead, Run Fatboy Run and Notting Hill.

On stage, he has performed sold-out stand-up shows across the world, and won the Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Festival when he was just 24.

Dylan has been described by The Times as "compulsively swerving clichés as he builds up layers of laughs... funny and fascinating, and utterly deserving of his place in the modern classics.”

Andrew Maxwell has appeared on BBC panel shows Have I Got News For You and Mock The Week, as well as being seen on Live At The Apollo.

Esther Manito's #NotAllMen won best show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2021, and has appeared on The Stand Up Sketch Show on ITV and Hypothetical on Dave.

MC Laura Lexx completes the line-up of award-winning comedians and writers.
