Des Bishop on Bridge & Tunnel, Bombing & Stand-Up Comedy | The Sit

Des Bishop has spent decades making audiences laugh on both sides of the Atlantic, and his new stand-up special, Bridge & Tunnel, might be his most personal yet. We talk about Bridge & Tunnel, the realities of stand-up comedy, bombing on stage, writing jokes from real life, and what performing in Ireland taught him that New York never could. Des also reflects on The Des Bishop Work Experience, the differences between Irish and American audiences, and and what it really takes to make an audience laugh.
