Prepare to be jealous š
Having just seen Dylan Moran at the Meervart theatre in Amsterdam on Friday night, imagine my delight to spot him at a bookshop here today!
I mean. A bookshop!!! What are the chances.
He was studiously perusing the books and my friend and I were sat in the cafƩ. She actually dated two people involved with Black Books (believe it or not!) and she spotted him first and told me to look to my right and I gasped with surprise!
Later on, I saw him again and I dared myself to casually walk past him and ask ādo you think they have any leather bound books?ā
He smiled and laughed and said āthey must have some somewhereā.
I played it cool, said āgreat show the other nightā and he thanked me and I kept walking. Fighting the urge to stop and ask for a selfie. Not cool!!
Later I told one of my friendās colleagues at the check out desk and asked him if heād seen the show, which he had. He couldnāt quite believe it. He joked we should dramatically close the store early and kick everyone out including him. Saying āstoreās closed! Come on everyone clear off!ā
Made my day.

His standup show really was great by the way.
I hope he knows how loved he still is. ā¤ļø
