Des Bishop: Unbéarlable
Friday 1st - Saturday 2nd May, 8pm
€25 / 23 conc

School's out and Des Bishop can now speak and perform as gaeilge. His brand new show Unbéarlable is a hilarious look at life after learning Irish, for a native New Yorker finding his way.

Comedian Tommy Nicholson remarked to Des after he learnt Irish: "Des, you have stopped looking in our windows, and you are now looking into our souls." What Des saw were the same struggles as his own: alcoholism, a fear of intimacy and those impressionable years in a Catholic boarding school in the Diocese of Ferns.

Slow sets, supper tickets and stolen pints...18 years in Ireland, Des has reached his Irish adulthood and now his Irish inner child is crying to get out.
