   About Des O'Connor
Desmond O'Connor is an internationally renowned musical comedian whose bittersweet lyrics and insanely catchy melodies never fail to shock, charm and entertain. With a comedy song writing career that began as musical director of the Cambridge Footlights under the presidency of David Mitchell (Peep Show), Desmond is now one of the most exciting and original acts on the Burlesque and Variety scene. Regular club and festival performances in London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Berlin and New York, alongside an acclaimed appearance at the New York Burlesque Festival 2008, have earned Desmond a far-reaching army of loyal fans. His work as a presenter for MTV at Bestival and The Big Chill this summer has furthered his status as a well known name on the UK music and cabaret circuit. "A high degree of musical wit and lyricism…a thrill to watch." Lyn Gardner, The Guardian * * * * "A dazzling performance throughout, offering energy and humour which captures the hearts (and perhaps souls) of an enthralled audience." Adam Harwood, Broadway Baby * * * * "Tom Lehrer with a twist of filth…witty and naughty." Peter Quinn, The Other Side "Serious and funny, clever and fresh…thoroughly entertaining." Kevin Lygo, Channel 4 "Dark, hilarious and really rather strange." Simone Baird, Time Out (Critics' Choice) "Finest lyricist of the burlesque scene" Bizarre Magazine - Top 10 British Burlesque Stars "Next to the masterful Des, whose songs make me double - nay, triple - over with laughter, everything else pales into mediocrity." Alix Fox, Bizarre Magazine "Superb…original and enjoyable…O'Connor's music is very impressive." Johnathan Gibbs, Time Out * * * * (Critics' Choice) "Great songs! Contemporary, compelling... I was watching to ENJOY, to be MOVED, to be HELD - and I WAS!" Gyles Brandreth, BBC Radio 4 "Desmond O'Connor certainly knows his way around complex scoring and clever lyric writing." Fiona Mountford, Evening Standard "thought provoking, intelligent…refreshingly original." Geoff Ambler, Reviews Gate "Quite simply excellent" Martin Miller – Hairline:Fringe * * * * *
