Liverpudlian stand-up star John Bishop has announced a raft of dates for a new tour.
Taking to the road in 2025, John Bishop: 25 will celebrate 25 years since his first comedy gig, and promises all tickets priced at £25.
Promoters explain: "On 2nd 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.
"Within three years he was playing to sold out arena audiences across the country and released the fastest selling stand-up DVD in UK history.
"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 says: "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."
Tickets go on general sale this Friday, 11th October 2024, at 10am from retailers including Ticketmaster. A presale opens at 10am on Wednesday.
