Page Navigation

In his brand-new stand-up special, Des Clarke explores the comedy of hitting reset. Finding the funny in everything from personal meltdowns to unexpected comebacks. After more than ten years away from the touring circuit, Des returns to the stage with a show that’s as sharp, heartfelt and laugh-out-loud as ever. 

Life After Des is a hilarious journey through breakdowns and breakthroughs, disasters and do-overs, and the strange joy of starting again when you least expect it. From the chaos of everyday life to the big questions of who we are and where we’re going, Des finds the punchline in every twist of fate. This is a show about rebirth, resilience, and the power of laughing your way back to life.
