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: 25 kicks off on 2 October 2025 at the Plymouth Pavilions and then travels to arenas across the UK and Ireland before culminating in Belfast on 1 November 2025. The tour includes a return show on 13 October 2025 to the Frog and Bucket in Manchester, 25 years since it all began.
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.”
Since that first gig in October 2000, John has achieved so much in his incredible career. Within three years John was playing to sold out arena audiences across the country and released the fastest selling stand-up DVD in UK history.
The £25*tickets go on sale on Friday 11 October 2024 from JohnBishopOnline.com.
