No challenge is too great or small for Ireland's adopted son of comedy, Des Bishop. His latest, and most anticipated, challenge is to learn how to speak 'as Gaelige' (in Irish). This is Des' most difficult challenge yet as he moves to Connemara's Gaeltacht for 11 months with the aim of performing an entire gig in Irish. RTÉ filmed his progress for "In The Name Of The Fada" since March '07 and his experience will evoke memories for anyone who has battled with the "modh coinníollach" (conditional tense).
As a native New Yorker, Des Bishop moved to Ireland in his mid-teens in 1990, thereby being exempt from learning Irish at school. He since carved out a highly successful career in stand-up comedy in Ireland as well as having had two acclaimed television series on RTÉ "The Des Bishop Work Experience" (2004) and "Joy in the Hood" in 2006. In spite of his assimilation into Ireland, Des has always felt like he didn't have a rite of passage due to his complete ignorance of the Irish language. So Des swapped 'immersion heating' for immersion learning and based himself in Leitir Móir in Connemara learning the language from scratch.
Des takes the narrator's seat for this reality television series, and tells of his own journey in grasping the language and his assimilation into Connemara Gaeltacht community. For the series Des discovers the joys of having a Bean an Tí (woman of the house), struggles to get his head around Irish grammar and sits the leaving certificate oral Irish exam all in preparation for his gig "as Gaeilge". Des' ultimate challenge is to reclaim the tradition of seanchaí in its modern incarnation -- stand-up comedy -- through the medium of its native tongue.
Will he succeed in his final challenge? A refreshingly candid look at Des' experience, the appeal of 'In the Name of the Fada' extends beyond those who have learnt Irish, to those who have learnt any language or attempted to integrate themselves into another community. Some fresh and highly provocative comedy, as Des once again demonstrates that once you put your mind to something, you will be amazed at what can be achieved.

Des Bishop (born 12 November 1975) is an Irish-American comedian. He was brought up in New York and is now primarily based in Ireland, after moving to County Wexford in 1990 at the age of 14.
Bishop's comedy was originally heavily based on his observation of Irish society, supported by his talent for impersonating the regional variations of the Irish accent. His website says, "Des has developed a unique style of observational comedy, most critical of his adopted home in Ireland and the America he left behind."
Bishop's comedy has since grappled with social issues, such as poverty. In 2000, Bishop was diagnosed with testicular cancer - rather than shy away from this subject, Des went on to turn his experiences into comedy material.
Bishop has worked as a comic in Ireland since the late 1990s. He began hosting shows at the International Comedy Cellar - a venue set up by Irish comics such as Ardal O'Hanlon, Kevin Gildea and Barry Murphy. It was here that Bishop honed his act.
Bishop first reached a TV audience in early 2000, after appearing on Don't Feed the Gondolas, a news based topical TV show. He later had to pull out of this show due to personal reasons.

No challenge is too great or small for Ireland's adopted son of comedy, Des Bishop. His latest, and most anticipated, challenge is to learn how to speak 'as Gaelige' (in Irish). This is Des' most difficult challenge yet as he moves to Connemara's Gaeltacht for 11 months with the aim of performing an entire gig in Irish. RTÉ filmed his progress for "In The Name Of The Fada" since March '07 and his experience will evoke memories for anyone who has battled with the "modh coinníollach" (conditional tense).
As a native New Yorker, Des Bishop moved to Ireland in his mid-teens in 1990, thereby being exempt from learning Irish at school. He since carved out a highly successful career in stand-up comedy in Ireland as well as having had two acclaimed television series on RTÉ "The Des Bishop Work Experience" (2004) and "Joy in the Hood" in 2006. In spite of his assimilation into Ireland, Des has always felt like he didn't have a rite of passage due to his complete ignorance of the Irish language. So Des swapped 'immersion heating' for immersion learning and based himself in Leitir Móir in Connemara learning the language from scratch.
Des takes the narrator's seat for this reality television series, and tells of his own journey in grasping the language and his assimilation into Connemara Gaeltacht community. For the series Des discovers the joys of having a Bean an Tí (woman of the house), struggles to get his head around Irish grammar and sits the leaving certificate oral Irish exam all in preparation for his gig "as Gaeilge". Des' ultimate challenge is to reclaim the tradition of seanchaí in its modern incarnation -- stand-up comedy -- through the medium of its native tongue.
Will he succeed in his final challenge? A refreshingly candid look at Des' experience, the appeal of 'In the Name of the Fada' extends beyond those who have learnt Irish, to those who have learnt any language or attempted to integrate themselves into another community. Some fresh and highly provocative comedy, as Des once again demonstrates that once you put your mind to something, you will be amazed at what can be achieved.
