Hector Ó hEochagáin

And there were, I-

Did we, did we talk about Hector, Hector O'Hurley?

We did, yeah.

Oh, did we? We did that last week, didn't we?

What was, I think we've talked about him on occasion.

We were probably just talk- Yeah, that, like, they sent him around the world, like.

Huge budgets to send Hector around the world for TG4.

Why would you send Hector around the world?

And then about an hour later, my phone rang and it was Hector.

Hector O'Hockagon.

Yeah.

You know, Hector.

Dylan William Moran was born in 1971 in Navan, County Meath, in the northeast of Ireland, where he grew up in a secular household at a time when the vast majority of the local population would attend mass every Sunday.

Dylan attended St. Patrick's Classical School alongside future comedians Hector O'Heochagoin and Tommy Tiernan.

After gaining his leaving certificate and quitting school at 16, Dylan has said that his next few years were spent unemployed, reading, drawing, drinking, and writing bad poetry.

At the start of the 1990s, trips to Dublin's Comedy Cellar on South Wicklow Street to see comedians like Ardal O'Hanlon and Barry Murphy perform strengthened Dylan's resolve to try stand-up himself.
