<<The hardest thing about this profession isn’t to come up with enough jokes, but to eat enough vegetables.>>
Dylan Moran, comedian

The british comedian Dylan Moran has experienced scolding, loud booing and personal insults on stages in London. Yesterday he opened the Stand Up Festival in Oslo.
If we are to believe the experienced stand up comedian from Great Britain, norwegians are a civilized and neat people compared to their neighbours in the west. It can be quite brutal on more than a hundred standup-stages in London. It is the rule more than the exception that the audience comes with snide remarks and are booing at the artists on stage. Life as a stand up comedian in England has made Dylan Moran thick skinned.

Sheer torture
- On Friday nights people comes from work and drink themselves senseless. They sit in their own urin, sleep or throw up. When many in the room screams ‘cunt’ at you in unison, it’s sheer tortur, he tells.
Moran is among the most recognized comedians in Great Britain. In 1996 he won the comedy award, Perrier Comedy Award. He has produced his own comedy series on television, and has had roles in movies such as Notting hill and The Actors. Moran thinks that the reason that stand-up is so popluar in Great Britain is the social barriers and the taboos that are fixed in the british society.

Sex and death
- We are embarrassed about sex and death, and we don’t know how to discuss these subjects in normal settings. Hence the comedy becomes an important factor in society.
He currently lives in Edinburgh. These days the worlds largest humorfestival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, kicks off. This year Moran doesn't have the energy to participate.
-The festival lasts for a month, and when your only working one hour a day, I only end up drinking every day. The hardest thing about this profession isn’t to come up with enough jokes, but to eat enough vegetables, says the comedian.

The comedian Dylan Moran has been touring the world for one year. Yesterday he participated in the opening of this years stand up festival on Latter in Oslo
