Des Bishop Likes To Bang! At the Greville

Des Bishop Likes To Bang! Well, that's what the posters for his show at The Greville Arms Hotel are saying anyway.It's not something rude though, it's the name of his new show and it's here on Saturday October 27.Des is learning the drums, and in this show, he's combined his new-found passion with his interests in hip hop, beat-boxing and his love of audience participation.Des also has fun with word-play in this new show, which he's described as: "A bit silly, a bit musical, and a bit improvised."His inspiration for the title comes from being given an electronic drumkit as a gift. "I started messing around with it," he explains, "and ended up behind a set on stage. It went well, so I've put together a comedy show with a bit of rhythm in it."Known for his ability to take up new challenges, such as when he decided to learn Irish in his six-part television series, In The Name Of The Fada, which was on RTÉ in 2008, many are not surprised that Des has turned his hand to a new hobby, drumming, and incorporated it into a stand-up show.Tickets for Des's show at The Greville Arms Hotel, on October 27, are available from Ticketmaster and from the hotel at 044 934 8563.
