Following sell-out shows at the Dublin Fringe and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Tom Moran’s critically acclaimed show is now on at the Abbey Theatre, before going on national tour in May & June.

A self-proclaimed people-pleaser and an expert in empathy, Tom really struggles with the truth. Full of compassion and humour, he explores identity, family dynamics and having a very flexible relationship to the truth in contemporary Ireland.

Join him for this hilarious but completely true solo show where he begs the question: “If I never lied again and was just myself, would any of my loved ones still love me?”

A note from Caitríona McLaughlin, Artistic Director at the Abbey Theatre 

Is Tom Moran a big fat filthy disgusting liar or does he just tell a great story?
