Comedian and actor 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, headlining a night of British Sign Language comedy alongside fellow comedians Gavin Lilley, Ray Bradshaw, Ace Mahbaz, Leah Francisco and John Smith.
