The show, recorded in Stockholm, started just two years after the original and sticks to the same rules - more or less.

Alice Jones, i Newspaper, 17th September 2018Dylan Moran: Dr Cosmo -The Lowry, Salford review
It would be fair to say that playing the shambles has served Dylan Moran well throughout his career.
