Special Event: Des Bishop
Now a massive star in Ireland, native New Yorker Des Bishop moved from Queens to Ireland in his mid-teens in 1990. He first came to prominence with his extraordinary TV series "The Des Bishop Work Experience" (2004), where he lived on minimum wage in a series of different jobs in Ireland. Mixing this documentary footage with stand-up, the series became one of the most talked-about of the year, propelling. Des into national stardom. In 2006, he embarked on his second critically acclaimed TV series, "Joy In The Hood," where he taught stand-up comedy in disadvantaged areas in four major Irish cities. Another hugely successful live tour followed including invitations to the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and the Melbourne Comedy Festival in Australia.
Des’s most recent project took him to Beijing, China, in 2013 to learn Mandarin and he has been living there for the past 18 months. He is now fluent and the show, "Breaking China," was another major hit for broadcaster RTE in 2014. He also made a half-hour radio documentary about the rise of stand up in China for the BBC World Service called “Stand up for China.” His live show opened again at the Edinburgh Festival where he played to over 5,000 people and included an invitation to perform at the Soho Theatre in London and a return to Barrow Street in New York.
