Latest Stand Up special from John Bishop recorded in New York at The Comedy Cellar on January 21st, 2025.

Latest Stand Up special from John Bishop recorded in New York at The Comedy Cellar on April 16th, 2025. This special features material from John's 'Back At It' World Tour.

In October 2000, John Bishop stepped onto the stage at the Frog and Bucket Comedy Club in Manchester to perform for the first time, to just a handful of people – and that night his life changed forever. Fast forward 25 years and John is now one of the biggest names in comedy. To celebrate this landmark quarter of a century making people laugh, John embarks on his ’25’ UK and Ireland arena tour this autumn, with an intimate run of ‘work in progress’ shows during August.

A comedian uses her troubled past as material for her stand-up routine, trying to rise up through the comedy circuit by playing Northern England's working men's clubs.

Multi award winning, comedy superstar, John Bishop is back with his brand new show. Recorded during his mammoth 150 date sell out tour of UK and Ireland at the iconic London Palladium in 2018. You too can experience him 'Winging It'! John shares his opinions on the royal family and how Kate Middleton 'could' have been Mrs Bishop. You'll find yourself carried along with his brilliantly observed feelings about hitting the big 50, how to deal with the 'empty nest', the menopause, the moment he finally managed to impress his mates with his fairly new found fame and getting a 'name-check', live on stage in Boston, from his idol Bono!

John Bishop’s back! After taking time out to write his autobiography, John limbered up again for his third sell-out national Arena tour, ending with a special one-off show at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall. This latest comedy caper by the immensely talented John Bishop was described as “the funniest two hours you’ll have anywhere, anytime soon” by The Daily Mirror.

John Bishop encounters one of the most endangered animals on Earth, and discovers they and his family have more in common than he ever imagined. Filming in the jungles of Rwanda for John Bishop’s Gorilla Adventure, the comedian realises adolescent male mountain gorillas are just like his teenage sons – bulging muscles but no sense. Plus they fart, flirt and pick their noses. We follow John as he joins a group of vets who have dedicated their lives to saving the, sadly, precious few mountain gorillas left in the wild rugged mountains and valleys between the borders of Rwanda, Congo and Uganda, which were made famous to UK viewers by David Attenborough’s iconic sequence filmed among them in the 1970s.

John Bishop's Christmas Show is an all singing, all dancing festive comedy spectacular.

Rich Peppiatt delivers a satirical dissection of the newspaper trade by turning the tables on unscrupulous editors. Through a series of mischievous stunts and interviews with heavyweights of journalism, comedy & politics, Peppiatt hilariously exposes the hypocrisy at the heart of modern journalism.
