Testimonials
James Moran has carved out an hilarious and imaginative storytelling voice. Surreal digressions, ironic puns, pop culture moments, and the strangest epiphanies are all hung onto his stories in a type of storytelling buckaroo that only a teller as intelligent and talented as James could pull off. A lot of thought and care are put into utterly beguiling stories that seem effortless
-Tom Rowley, Storymap.ie
A long-time Milk and Cookie Stories favourite, James Moran is currently taking the Dublin comedy scene by storm with his surreal storytelling style
-Milk and Cookies Stories
I know James’ work really well and to be honest I think he’s a bit of a genius.
-Shane Langan, The Walshes, Diet of Worms
I was delighted to have James Moran here at The O’Reilly Theatre. He was thoroughly entertaining and smart. I would have him back anytime and I’m hard to please!
-Laura McNaughton, Director, O’Reilly Theatre, Dublin.
