Irish comedian Dylan Moran was born in Navan, County Meath in 1971. Leaving school without any qualifications at age 16, Moran quickly became attracted to stand-up comedy and debuted, in 1992, at a comedy club in Dublin, The Comedy Cellar. A year later, he won the Channel Four comedy newcomer's "So You Think You're Funny" award at the Edinburgh Festival, and began developing his comedy routines into a one-man show, "Gurgling for Money", for which he won the prestigious Perrier Comedy Award in 1996, and which he subsequently took to a nationwide tour of the UK. His exposure at the Edinburgh Festival also led to him getting programmed at international stand-up comedy festivals, worldwide. Subsequently, Moran took to writing and performing for British television. He has starred in the BBC sitcom, How Do You Want Me? (1998), and - more importantly - in 2000, he was commissioned by Channel Four for the sitcom, Black Books (2000). He wrote and starred in three 6-episode series of this comedy. Co-starring popular British stand-up comedian Bill Bailey, who was nominated for the Perrier Award the year Moran won, Black Books (2000) sees Moran play a character close to his stand-up comedy persona: an unsociable misanthrope, reminiscent of the John Cleese sitcom character, "Basil Fawlty", that shares a great love of wine with one of razor-sharp put-downs of all things human. Also, his character Bernard Black's often surreal views on everyday things and on human behavior is close to his stand-up persona's dealing with them. The same year the first series of "Black Books" aired, Moran took his one-man show, "Ready, Steady, Cough", on a UK tour, followed two years later by Dylan Moran: Monster (2004). This was followed by Monster II in 2004. In the late 1990's, Moran also moved from doing stand-up to working on a film acting CV. He played opposite Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant in Notting Hill (1999), co-starred with Michael Caine in The Actors (2003) and had parts in the Simon Pegg comedy, Shaun of the Dead (2004) and the Michael Winterbottom film, Tristram Shandy (2005). Moran's live stand-up comedy is unique in that it merges two strands of stand-up that seemed incompatible for a long time: sharp observational humor, and surreal and fantastical language-based absurdity. On the one hand, he has a clear influence from what could be called an American school of stand-up comedy that is heavily observational. On the other hand, Moran's comedy is characterized by a use of language similar to the stand-up comedy of Eddie Izzard and Ross Noble: surreal associative leaps between on the one side observations and on the other fantasies, verbally painting bizarre and absurd worlds, often through a use of stream-of-consciousness narration. His language is often highly poetic, resembling a James Joyce that has had one too many. Moran is very reluctant to give interviews on his personal life and even on his career, a fact parodied in a staged interview inter-cut with the recording of his live stand-up show, "Monster", on its DVD release.

Dylan Neal was born in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. Shortly thereafter, his family moved to Oakville, just west of Toronto, where he spent the remainder of his childhood. As a young student, he attended the prep school, Appleby College, where he was introduced to the game of squash. Dylan quickly fell in love with the sport and was soon playing for Canada at an international level. Toward the end of his teenage years, after many years of traveling across North America on the amateur squash circuit, Dylan decided a professional squash career was not for him. By that time, Dylan was attending Blakelock High School, where he was enrolled in the drama program. At the urging of his drama teacher, Dylan signed with a Toronto talent agent and began auditioning professionally. It didn't take long for Dylan to realize this was the direction his career would take. In 1992, Dylan moved to Los Angeles, where his career quickly took off. He lived in Los Angeles until 2006, when he and his family moved to Vancouver for production of the Lifetime television series 'Blood Ties'. In 2011, Dylan and his family returned to Los Angeles. Dylan Neal is a well-recognized face on television, having had series regular roles in eight American television series, including 'The Bold and the Beautiful', Aaron Spelling's 'Pacific Palisades', 'Hyperion Bay', and 'Blood Ties'. Dylan has had many major recurring roles, including his five-year stint on 'Dawson's Creek' playing Joshua Jackson's brother, Doug Witter, and as Aaron on 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' opposite Melissa Joan Hart. He has had the good fortune of working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood and in 2012 was offered the male lead role of Jack Griffith opposite Andie MacDowell in the television series 'Cedar Cove'. The series is based on international best-selling author Debbie Macomber's series of books with the same name and premiered on the Hallmark Channel on July 20, 2013. Starting in 2014, Dylan began writing, executive producing and starring in a series of TV movies called The Gourmet Detective for The Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel. Dylan's career has allowed him to travel extensively for work, filming in such locations as Israel, Germany, China, the Caribbean, and throughout North America. In his downtime, Dylan enjoys spending as much time as he can with his family and friends. On occasion, he can also be spotted in his workshop, where, as an avid woodworker, he has for years re-created eighteenth- and nineteenth-century period furniture.
