He subsequently performed a 21-night show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.[1] In 2014, Moran won the Guardian and Legend Press' new prize for self-published fiction.[2] The prize aims to find books "that are not only zeitgeisty and promising, but will be talked about in 10 or even 100 years' time."[3] Following the prize, Moran has received attention in various publications including the Washington Post.[4]

In 2015, Moran was named as one of the BAFTA Rocliffe New Comedy Writing Forum winners[5] for his new sitcom, Printheads. The prize culminated in a showcase at the New York Television Festival, where professional actors performed the script live. At the festival, Moran won the AMC-Channel 4 Drama Co-Development Award for his sci-fi pilot White Rabbit.[6]
