DES BISHOP’s new comedy special, Of All People, is getting a second wind, out now with re-release partner, 800 Pound Gorilla Media. You might know Des (short for Desmond) as a famous Irish comedian, co-host of the Berner Phone podcast, OR as the guy who learned Mandarin and Gaelic so he could do an hour of comedy in both of those languages. That last one is not even a joke! Yours truly knows the comic ONLY as a hell of a funny guy whose special you just can’t but devour. Of All People is an hour of original stand-up and a culmination of years of experience on stage around the world. Bishop is fearless in his storytelling abilities leaving no stone unturned, which means watch out, you whole milk haters! Just some of the topics Des tackles with his high energy presentation include short guy discrimination from us ladies, 80s child rearing, sage advise for those with older parents, insight into the mental health crisis, and my two favorite, living in China (as a David Beckham look alike), and looking back at the time when everyone was forced to memorize phone numbers. Ahhhhh, human memories. The candidness with which Bishop attacks the subject matter only adds to his great insight, creativity, and comedy explorer spirit. Watch now!
Did we mention the album version of the special is up for the first round of Grammy consideration?!
