You Must be Jokin’
Des Bishop | Three comedians and a funeral
Season 1, Ep. 1
•
Wahhheyyyyy. We’re finally here! This is ‘You Must Be Jokin’ with JOE and the Laughter Lounge.
In the first episode, Eric Lalor and Willa White reminisce on the early days of their comedy career, how they got started and they speak to the man who is responsible for getting them started, legendary comedian Des Bishop.
The lads chat about ‘Joy in the Hood’, going from Ballymun to the big stage, Ireland’s obsession with death, what it’s been like for Des to make the move back to USA after years building a career in Ireland.
Plus, we run through the first ever edition of ‘confessions box’. We hear some scandalous and hilarious stories from the guests in the Laughter Lounge. Strap in for some eyebrow raisers.
