Aidan Bishop

After being dismissed as unintelligent and lazy his entire childhood, New York-based Bishop is clearly still harbouring a great deal of resentment towards those who contributed to his misery as a dyslexic youth in the 80s. Bishop combines a bitter attitude with a wealth of charm, deep wit and the odd phonological error.
