The award-winning, critically acclaimed Tom Moran is a Big Fat Filthy Disgusting Liar is coming to the Mick Lally Theatre this summer for a limited run.
Following smash runs at Dublin Fringe and Edinburgh Fringe festivals, Tom Moran is bringing his show to Galway on Friday & Saturday, June 21-22.
Directed by Davey Kelleher, the award-winning one-man show has delighted audiences and critics alike and will come to Galway following its run at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin.
Tickets for this Tom Moran and Abbey Theatre co-production are available directly from the Mick Lally Theatre.
Brimming with compassion and humour, Tom has a story to tell, some secrets to share and a future to fix.
Tom is a self-proclaimed people-pleaser and expert in empathy – but someone who really struggles with the truth – in this hilarious but completely true solo show.
It asks, “If I never lied again and was just myself, would any of my loved ones still love me?”
“A masterclass […] a winning show […] the truth-telling core is a seam of gold” Irish Independent
“The most searingly honest and moving show of the year” ★★★★★ The Arts Review
“This play possesses every drop of honesty I have,” Tom Moran said. “It was written with a thesis in mind, that human beings only lie in the presence of shame. I wanted to stop lying, to trust who I was. But like so many, guilt and shame held me back. And yet, so vitally, this play had to feel hopeful.”
“Joyous, optimistic, hilarious, real. It’s for the people-pleasers amongst us, for the self-protective liars. It’s a compassionate journey to a complicated past, to salvage the most beautiful future. I’m delighted to be able to bring this work to audiences in Galway.”

Tom Moran pushes the boundaries of comedy, exploring masculinity, how childhood makes us into the adults we become and looks inward to his own relationships – with himself and with family.
Audiences leave quite literally booking therapy, laughing and crying, feeling way less alone; and sometimes, they even come back with their parents.
One of Ireland’s brightest emerging talents, Tom Moran is an actor, writer and comedian who was recently listed as one of Ireland’s Rising Stars in the Hot Press magazine.
He has recently wrapped filming for a new romantic comedy film, and has multiple onstage appearances, and is currently developing his debut book as well as a number of screen and stage projects.
