Des Bishop - My Dad Was Nearly James Bond

Largely funny, tender and acutely observed ode to late father

An ode to Bishop’s late father, Mike, this should leave the most emotional tough-nut shaken and stirred, as Des tells the story of his dad’s life, from stage actor, Ford model and ‘almost Bond’ to regular ‘Queens, New York’ dad. Walking the line between pathos and pity, this is largely funny, tender and acutely observed.

Pleasance Courtyard, 556 6550, until 14 Aug, 9.10pm, £14 (£12.50).
