Tom Moran: one to watch

Things are starting to take off for up-and-coming local writer and comedian, Tom Moran.

His first full length play will be staged this week… and he’s got the biggest gig of his life this Christmas.

Based just off Newmarket Road, Tom Moran has been working on his latest play, ‘Writer’s Block’, on and off, for the past 3 years. It makes its debut at the UEA Drama Studio this weekend. He describes it as a “bizarre comedy/adventure story.”

As well as writing, Tom Moran set up the Laugh out Loud comedy club in 2006, helping stage comedy performances in venues across the city. The next one is at the Rose Tavern on Rupert Street on Monday 24th October 2011. (Doors open 7.30pm)

And in December, the former UEA graduate will be appearing on stage alongside household names Jason Manford and Milton Jones at a Christmas comedy extravaganza at the Norfolk Showground. The exhibition hall can hold 3000, making it the biggest gig he’s ever compered for.

Tickets are available for the Christmas Comedy Cracker online.
