Des Bishop is often asked “where do you get your material from?” The truth is really that he tries to see the funny in everything. His mother died in March 2019 and of course it was sad and grief can be tough sometimes, but he saw a lot of funny in that too. Since death comes to us all and grief is something most of us will experience, Des thought there must be plenty of people who would like that funny to be shared. Des also did a show about his Dad being sick in 2010 and I knew that he just couldn’t face his mother in the afterlife, because her first question would be “your Father got a show, how come I didn’t get one?” Des says "I think it’s tougher to lose your mum. My Dad was best supporting actor. My mother was the actress in a leading role. You are never ready when the star of the show dies. So this is a show about my mother. It’s a show about motherhood and sacrifice, anxiety and grief, the mistakes you make as a mother and a son and the hard road to forgiveness and finally it’s about loss, grief and the chaos that surrounds it. Where do I get my material from? - Life and death!"
