Des Bishop

Spending his teenage years in Ireland after growing up in New York has not only given Bishop a mongrel accent, but a complex mix of Queens confidence and Blarney charm all wrapped in a self-effacing confusion. It's a confusion that invades the intimate moments of his life, as his fears become genuine, creating a show of empathy, if not quite originality.
