Comedian Dylan Moran (pictured) has confirmed a six-week West End residency later in the year, bringing his new stand-up show What it is to the Apollo Theatre from 26 October to 5 December 2009.
Moran, who became the youngest winner of the Perrier award when he won aged 24 in 1996, has since gone on to forge a successful film and television career, twice winning a writing BAFTA for his Channel 4 sitcom Black Books. His film credits include Notting Hill, The Actors, Shaun of the Dead, A Cock and Bull Story and Run Fatboy Run.
The Apollo is currently playing host to another comedian; Rob Brydon Live! opened on Monday (11 May 2009) and continues for two weeks, to 23 May.
