Comedian Des Bishop plays Roscommon on March 17

Comedian Des Bishop will perform at Roscommon Arts Centre this St. Patrick’s Night.

Two years later than originally planned, comedian Des Bishop’s returns to Roscommon Arts Centre

with his latest show MIA MAMMA on St Patrick’s night, Thursday March 17 th at 8pm. The show is about motherhood and sacrifice, anxiety and grief, the mistakes you make as a mother and a son and the hard road to forgiveness.

In a tribute to his late mother who passed away in March 2019, Des puts a comic spin on loss, grief and the chaos that surrounds it.

In 2006, Des created Joy In The Hood, where he taught stand-up comedy in disadvantaged areas in four major Irish cities. Des also decided to learn Irish from scratch and perform a 60 minute stand-up comedy routine in the Irish language.

Over the course of 12 months, he lived with a family in the West Of Ireland honing his craft and in March 2008, the first episode of In The Name Of The Fada was broadcast.

Open, honest and laugh out lod funny, Des Bishop is a great night out.
