Ireland’s adopted son of comedy, Des Bishop’s most difficult challenge yet as he moves to Connemara’s Gaeltacht for 11 months with the aim of performing an entire gig in Irish.
No overview available.
Des tells of his own journey in grasping the Irish language and his assimilation into Connemara Gaeltacht community. He discovers the joys of having a Bean an ti, struggles to get his head around Irish grammar and sits the leaving certificate oral Irish exam all in preparation for his gig as gaeilge. His ultimate challenge is to reclaim the tradition of seanchai in its modern incarnation – stand up comedy – through the medium of its native tongue.
