Perrier Award for Comedy Winner, Edinburgh Festival Fringe [1996] Dylan was personally recommended to Simon Pegg for the role of David in 'Shaun of the Dead' by producer Nira Park (who also produced Dylan's show 'Black Books' and Simon's show 'Spaced'.) Pegg claimed he wasn't sure Moran was right for the part at first, but he saw Dylan's audition tape and he "nailed it". (Dylan himself wasn't intially sure he was right for the part either and actually suggested they cast comedian David Walliams instead.) Has written numerous articles for The Irish Times newspaper. Is very well-read. Some of his favourite authors include Don DeLillo, SJ Perelmam and JB Morton. Made his US television debut on June 25 2004 on "The Late Show With David Letterman". Met his future wife, Elaine, at The Gilded Balloon in Edinburgh (where she was working at the time, and where he was performing.) The venue was sadly destroyed in the Old Town fire of December 2002. Went to school with fellow Irish comic (and Perrier Award winner) Tommy Tiernan. As of 2005 he and fellow Navan man Tommy Tiernan are the only So you Think Your Funny Winners to go on to win The Perrier award during its entire 25 year run at the Edinburgh Fringe festival. As of 2006 they will be the only ones to do so under the name of the Perrier. It will now become known as the If.Comeddie Awards.
