Renowned comedian John Bishop has recently announced his upcoming arena tour set to take place next year. This news comes after John wowed audiences with his hilarious and relatable stand-up performance, solidifying his position as one of the most beloved comedians in the UK.
While other popular bands like Oasis have been criticized for their expensive ticket prices due to dynamic pricing, John has decided to show his fans some love by setting a fixed price of £25 for every ticket to his 25th anniversary tour. The 57-year-old comedian expressed his excitement for the tour, stating, "I can't believe it's been 25 years since my first performance at the Frog and Bucket in Manchester. It's been a wild ride and I can't thank my fans enough for their support. I wanted to celebrate this milestone with a brand-new tour and show my gratitude by offering all tickets at £25*."
John's career has come a long way since his debut performance in 2000 at Manchester's Frog and Bucket. He has gone on to star in his own TV shows, appeared in a pantomime with Sir Ian McKellen, and established a successful stand-up comedy career. The £25 tickets for his upcoming tour will go on sale on October 11, 2025, and can be purchased through his website.
The tour is set to kick off at Plymouth Pavilions on October 2, 2025, and will make stops at various cities including London, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, and more before concluding in Belfast on November 1. In his recent performance at the Bloomsbury Theatre, John shared some personal anecdotes about his experience with "menopause" and how testosterone gel helped lift his mood after a particularly emotional moment at a Britain's Got Talent audition.
Among the audience at this performance was none other than Sir Ian McKellen himself. The two had previously worked together in a pantomime production of Mother Goose, where John had to build up the courage to kiss the legendary actor on stage. Unfortunately, John had to pull out of the production last year due to the passing of his mother, Kathleen, at the age of 80. She had watched him perform in the show just before her passing.
John shared the heartbreaking news of his mother's death on Instagram, along with a sweet photo and video of them together. In his heartfelt caption, he thanked the staff at Whiston Hospital for their exceptional care and expressed his love and gratitude for his mother. He also mentioned that his upcoming tour is a way for him to celebrate her life and his 25 years in the comedy industry.
John, who has been married to his wife Melanie since 1993, has three sons. In 2022, he released a documentary called Life After Deaf, which delves into his relationship with his son Joe, who lost his hearing due to an autoimmune disease. With his latest tour, John hopes to continue spreading laughter and joy while celebrating his incredible journey with his fans by his side.
