James Moran

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.
