To celebrate 25 years in the world of comedy, Liverpudlian John Bishop has announced a huge arena tour for 2025, which will see him play dates across the UK and Ireland in October and November.

A quarter of a century after his first ever comedy gig at the Frog and Bucket in Manchester, way back in 2000, John is embarking on his 10th stand-up tour John Bishop: 25, to celebrate his incredible 25-year career.

John 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.”
