John Bishop announces three news shows to his upcoming 2025 arena tour!
Due to phenomenal demand, John Bishop has added three new shows to his 25 UK tour – celebrating 25 years of stand up – with extra dates at Derby Becketwell Live and Cardiff Utilita Arena, plus an early show at Liverpool M&S Bank Arena.
John Bishop: 25 opens at the Plymouth Pavilions on 1 October and visits arenas across the UK and Ireland before concluding at Birmingham Utilita Arena on 8 November.
On 2 October 2000, John Bishop stepped onto the stage at the Frog and Bucket in Manchester to perform his first ever comedy gig in front of just a handful people. John was working by day in the pharmaceutical industry, but that night, as he picked up the mic and performed for the very first time, he changed his life forever.
Now, a quarter of a century later, the comedy superstar is embarking on his tenth stand-up tour John Bishop: 25, to celebrate his incredible 25-year career. And to mark this special anniversary, every ticket at every show will be just £25*.
John Bishop said: “I can’t believe that next year it will be 25 years since I first performed at the Frog and Bucket in Manchester. It’s been a rollercoaster! And I can’t thank the fans enough who have supported me all the way. I wanted to mark the anniversary with a brand-new tour and do something to say thank you – so every ticket throughout the tour will be £25*. I really hope you can come and celebrate with me.”
(*All UK tickets: £25 + fees)
