Desmond O’Connor is a masterful lyrical-comic, composer and musician. Armed with a ukulele, clarinet, piano (or anything he can get his hands on) he is the commander of melodic mirth, razor-edged -rapid punning and bawdy innuendo.

Desmond’s show is high–brow hilarity at its very best. His stage presence, versatile image and talent for both composition and improvisation draw diverse crowds and loyal fans to his ever expanding repertoire of dangerously catchy and ultra witty ditties. Highly skilled and wildly eccentric, he is raunchy, whimsical, dark, lovable and poignant all at once.

With an excruciating talent for one-liners, quips and quotable jibes Desmond is also a masterful script, sketch and song writer where his skills have led him behind the scenes of the film and TV as a guru of theatre and musicality. Having studied Drama at Cambridge University he is a skilled actor and director too. As musical director of Footlights Dramatic Club, he even achieved the impossible when he taught TV comedy duo Mitchell and Webb to sing.

His sophisticated oeuvre of professional achievements including prestigious awards and a string of original sell-out musicals is both enviable and inspiring.

Desmond’s ultra infectious satirical-sonnets which subvert all the social norms are unforgettable. He will have you humming along, wriggling in your seat, singing on the bus and tittering for weeks to come – whether you can help it or not.

Des O'Connor strikes the George Formby pose. Safari, so good! Moody, broody and minus his shoe-dies. Des and Mike! With me little ukelele in me hand! The Devil O'Connor
