Comedian Des Bishop @ Bookworm Jan 31st

[China Bohs]

Des Bishop is coming to town!

Saturday, January 31st 2015, 8:00pm (in English)

Well known for his standup comedy in Ireland, as well as his television series: Ireland – The Des Bishop Work Experience (2004), Joy in the Hood (2006), In the Name of the Fada (2008) – Des Bishop – is visiting The Bookworm Chengdu.

Des came to China in February 2013 to try and learn enough Chinese to do stand-up comedy in Mandarin, to make Chinese audience laugh. Now he makes the whole world laugh about his unique experience!

As CityWeekend describes him: “The openness and honesty of his presenting style combined with his restless imagination and insightful comic observations make Des Bishop a “must-see” for fans of unique, enquiring and entertaining comedy. Undoubtedly one of the most enigmatic forces on the international comedy circuit Des continues to travel the world over with his stand up shows.”

Definietely not-to-be-missed show!

See the interview with Des Bishop taken in The Bookworm Beijing.

The show will be hosted by Rob Brien.

Tickets are available at The Bookworm Chengdu: 100rmb presale, 130rmb on day of show (price includes a beer/a glass of wine and popcorn)

I strongly recommend people make it out to support these kinds of events, firstly because they’re great, and secondly so we get more of them! The culture scene here can feel pretty limited, so gotta support these kinds of events when they make it here. Cheers, Rob!
