Thursday, June 8th Helium Comedy Club features Des Bishop. Now a massive star in Ireland, native New Yorker Des Bishop moved from Queens to Ireland in his mid-teens in 1990. He first came to prominence with his extraordinary TV series “The Des Bishop Work Experience” (2004), where he lived on minimum wage in a series of different jobs in Ireland. Mixing this documentary footage with stand-up, the series became one of the most talked-about of the year, propelling Des into national stardom. In 2006, he embarked on his second critically acclaimed TV series, “Joy In The Hood,” where he taught stand-up comedy in disadvantaged areas in four major Irish cities. Another hugely successful live tour followed including invitations to the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and the Melbourne Comedy Festival in Australia. The show begins at 8pm and tickets start at $22. For more information and tickets, click here.
