Des Bishop ‘My Dad Was Nearly James Bond’.
Irish- American comedian Des Bishop wants everyone to know his dad was nearly James Bond back in the day. He also wants us all to know that while cancer is no joking matter, the crazy family antics that the diagnosis of cancer are a welcome side-effect and worth joking about. They say laughter is the shortest distance between two people, Des Bishop’s brave and heart-warming comedy show confirms this notion.
By sharing relatable and hilarious stories of his childhood growing up in Queens (including the story of finding his father watching porn) Bishop shares with the audience a major aspect of his life; his relationship with his father. While Bishop is not very well known in Australia, he assures the audience he is famous in Ireland. He also assures the ladies in the crowd that despite his loss of one ball to testicular cancer it’s all still working down there!
Bishop is open, clever, genuine, honest and most importantly for a comedian; extremely funny.
If you have a free night this week definitely head to Trades Hall on Lygon Street and laugh along to a show with heart!
Des Bishop plays the Trades Hall New Ballroom as part of The Melbourne International Comedy Festival until Sunday the 18th of April.
