John and Joe Bishop: Life After Deaf
John Bishop’s eldest son, Joe, has an autoimmune condition causing progressive deafness.
After a decade of trying to “fix” Joe’s hearing, the family come to the realisation that it is now time to reconsider and find out more about the Deaf Community.
John has set himself the target of delivering an entire signed stand-up comedy gig to a deaf audience.
That means mastering an entirely new language and an entirely new way of performing. Needless to say, he has a mountain to climb.
Life After Deaf Stand Up Show
After learning British Sign Language (BSL) along with his deaf son, comedian and actor John Bishop headlines a night of signed comedy alongside some of his fellow comedians.
