Des Bishop Breaking China Episode 1

[@moodybuddha]

As a Chinese I think Des deserves more attention than most of the comedians out there, he's so fucking good at what he does...Keep up the good stuff buddy!

Just watched his stand up because I'd seen his wife, Hannah's stand up special where she mentioned him. Both of them are great comedians.

Dongying, that's my hometown! I'm from there and I'm learning Irish now, and one year is not enough...

[@SHASHA771]

Your video is really touching me. It reminds me the days I was learning English because I’m immigrant from shanghai to New York. Your video also showing Flushing New York which I live here for over 10 yrs. So I hope you will come back to your hometown and have a talk show soon.

[@nicola1466]

Really enjoyed this! ! Cork girl here currently in Taiwan, and gonna try taking some Chinese classes soon. Eeek! 🇹🇼

[@charlieff2]

Nice to find another my favorite of great comedians。真有才，能在如此短的时间内学会中文，并能用中文给中国观众表演脱口秀！thumbs up！

[@mj41374]

So glad you can post these Des, RTE geo-locked us Americans out when it was airing!

How did I get here? I watched Hannah Brenner's Netflix special, 'We Ride at Dawn' (which was excellent). She, of course, discussed her recent marriage to this older man, Des Bishop, who is also a comedian. So, I found one of Des' stand up on KZbin, thought he was fantastic, which led me to here. I'm loving this excursion into China far more than I had anticipated. I'm learning and laughing on this trip. Got to say, mind blown that Des learned Gaelic and Chinese - two of the most difficult languages to pronounce for non-natives.

[@themaggattack]

Maith an fear, Des! 🥰 Ok, now you're just showing off! 😉 Keep it up!! 👍You are a pure inspiration. You are a legend & a hero. (Your Chinese niece just ain't so sure yet. 😆 I'm only 3 minutes in and I can already see that much of this comedy will come from the Chinese ppl roasting you. 😂Maith an fear, Des, Maith an fear! 💖)

[@jujutrini8412]

This is such a good documentary! I love it.

[@XGNPerformanceThailand]

I miss China. Vast and lots to learn. People are very direct, young ones are adapting to the new world quick. As much as I don't like their governing system, I can safely say I love China. I wanna go there again. Thanks for videos and all. You made me smile for the first time today. Thank you.

[@Self.compassion]

Hi Des, the part where you jumped in the lake, what that dude commented was actually “that foreigner is too skinny, he better not die from the cold!😂” Anyway, I’ll tell as many friends about you as possible cause you definitely deserve a Netflix special!! It’s only a matter of time!

[@edwardjames3054]

Des you are national treasure … I respect you so much. Hope you have the best life ❤

[@stephaniee8909]

I’ve been introduced to Des Bishop and I’m officially addicted to the laughter I’ve been missing out on. Thank you for that and you are going to soar to the very top.

[@Pipilico]

This is an amazing series Des! Love your comedy and this is such an amazing feat. Love the intimacy with everyone you interact with, and can clearly see feel all the emotions you are going through. So inspiring for someone trying to learn Mandarin.

[@DaithiKerr68]

24:50 I'm there in the audience, thanks Des for editing me in :-) wish you would do some gigs in India where my company booted me to after 5 years in China

[@brendanashe5882]

Des it’s been a long time since we’ve met but I really enjoyed your trip to China and your interpretation of the experience

[@findkarla]

This is so good! It should be on Netflix so it can be seen by many others. Great way to see what China can be like. Looking forward to watching more episodes. Thanks for this. Very eye opening.

[@graemecarr4325]

I loved watching your open and honest portrayal of life and the people in China, I will enjoy watching the rest of the series. Your humour really makes the journey an easy one.

[@vy1454]

You probably need to add Chinese subtitles, at least some Chinese descriptions of the videos, to gain more views. Your videos are pretty interesting. I learned about you from Facebook page.

[@olefotland9543]

There is no youtube in China

[@vy1454]

@@olefotland9543 There is youtube in Hong Kong and Macau. Also, there are many Chinese overseas.

over 5 years program! In past 5 years,China has been changing so quickly and dramatically

[@themaggattack]

Ok, this is my second comment here, and it's probably a bit much, but I'm fangirling HARD. So oh well. G'wan Des!! Just busting through every barrier and bringing humanity together. He's like the last unicorn- an *actual* Irish American... whom the Irish are still even willing to claim as their own! Gael go smior é, and a man for all of humanity as well! He's a rare, shining example that not every single American is fat, ugly, stupid, lazy, violent, and/or selfish. They say: "Irish is too hard to learn"... "Why learn Irish when you could learn a 'relevant' language?" (😟)... "You'll never learn other world languages by 'wasting' your time on Irish." All this negativity just lit a fire under Des to go help light a fire under the Irish to love speaking the language again. Many ppl helped light that fire, but Des was just the perfect catalyst to really fan the flames. He was so earnest and humble and honest about it. It makes me well up with emotion. Now he's upward and onward to Chinese! 🤩 They say so many things can't be done, but Des just got the whole damn world holding his beer!! As an Irish American with a half asian child, Des, I salute you and I thank you, from the bottom of my heart! 💖

This was really well shot and edited and I'd love to practice my Chinese with you some time. lol

[@sgta7143]

I spent close to 2 years there in the mid 80s. That family you were with def not on the poor end of the scale. No one lived like that when I was there. And there were very few vehicles on the road. Everyone rode bicycles and rush hour was a real experience. LOL. The one child thing was no joke back then though… Women were forcibly taken from their homes to have their babies aborted and baby girls didn’t often survive. The result today is a shortage of women and a huge human trafficking problem. Women kidnapped from the cities never to be seen again. It was not good. The Chinese people are great though. Beautiful people with a rich culture full of good and bad like every other culture. I really enjoyed my experience there. Thanks for doing this video.

[@aaronkeane2336]

Any links to the mad Chinese hip-hop tracks? Enjoyed this, never knew Des went to China
