[ado75]

Mad. Brilliant, Love it.

[g19loo]

Tell it to the fishes was hilarious! This is very black.

[Valerie24810]

This is beautiful. This piece might very well be the definition of black comedy. Funny and tragic and poetic all at the same time.

He really is brilliant - I'm so glad I discovered his work.

[Funnyname29]

LOLOL

THIS IS HILLARIOUS

[ReverendKateColombo]

I honestly want a dylan moran of my own. He's just fantastic in every sense of the word.

[athox]

Did he get rescued? After the incident with "the camel", the wind in the background sounds like he's inside somewhere.

[lr1228]

Great! it´s also poetic, does anyone know about the other comedians that did the other BBC 4 Inner voices? It appears the tracks are no longer availabe at the bbc 4 site, so any clues?

PS: Thanks a lot for this brilliant DM post!!

[ylsesalra]

[rweir262]

brilliant, i love this

[MyBeinghuman]

Mr Moran is brilliant. I adore his astute, witty, dark brain.

He makes me hope and despair for humanity simultaneously.

"i've the lost the tent... i mean i can't see it."

"it's chucking it out and around out there,  you know, it looks like a big pillow fight or something."

hahaha love dylan moran. very clever, very sad but very funny

[thurlstonemoor]

This is beautifully written and performed.

The language is clever and effective and often funny. To me the character is vulnerable from the outset - you like him and fear for him. Ultimately he has left a cold emotional place only to wind up dead in a cold physical place. Will they ever find the body? And will icey Isobel ever hear his last words? Love it!

[StrangerToEarth]

This left me with a peculiar sense of calm - and, somehow, a better knowledge of death, which allows me to treat the whole thing airily. Which is what Dylan Moran's done here - treated death with irreverence, showing the gradualness of it, the inevitability of it, the curious tranquility of leaving your body. Where the trivial becomes dead-important, and the important suddenly becomes so very, very trivial.

Where you finally discover the last of yourself.

[finlan9]

"craving his respect just made me feel ashamed". he is brilliant

[Genomatekk]

"your brother is so dead... And inedible"

XD

[csibibi2]

I hear my voice going trough my bones. I know when I open my mouth I won't hear anything.

how poetic of an ending!

[Reama1974]

Oh how so very sad. I would have liked more funny and less tragic.

[batmanofni]

This is bother hilarious and tragic... Dylan is brilliant.

[imhereformoz]

[AlexandriaM]

"This, by the way, is not my fault. He's twenty-four. He should have woken me."

I'm not sure why but that made me lol.

[finestdk]

ya, was really fun. But very weird and creepy at the same time.

[peppermintcowboy]

That was a brilliant short story! He has such a gift with language, the way his mind works! Thanks so much for uploading/sharing :-)

[eleanorigby23]

This was awesome! I loved it when he found Leonard who it turns out was inedible. He was never good for anything anyway. Thanks!
