Comedian John Bishop shares a terrible joke that helped reconcile his marriage after an 18-month separation.
John Bishop, a well-known comedian, recently shared a heartwarming story about how a joke he made on stage saved his marriage to his wife, Melanie Bishop. The couple had been separated for 18 months and were in the process of getting a divorce when John's joke about missing his wife unexpectedly brought them back together.

At the age of 33, John found himself going through a difficult time after splitting from Melanie. To cheer himself up, he decided to try stand-up comedy and ended up performing at a local club in Manchester. Initially, he only did it to avoid paying the entry fee, but little did he know that it would lead to a successful career as a comedian.

During one of his early performances, John made a joke about keeping his ex-wife's severed head in the fridge, which made him realize that Melanie was actually in the audience. This joke, although not the best, ended up halting their divorce process and leading them to seek counseling. Eventually, they reconciled and have now been married for over 30 years, with three sons.

Two years ago, John almost quit comedy, but it was his wife who convinced him to get back on stage. She told him he had become a "miserable git" and that he should continue doing what he loves. With her support, John found a new zest for comedy and even hired a comedy coach to help him improve his jokes.

As he embarks on his 25th-anniversary tour, John has made a special gesture for his fans by setting all of his tour tickets at an affordable price of £25 each. He expressed his gratitude towards his fans for supporting him throughout his career and hopes to celebrate his milestone with them.
