John Bishop and his son, Joe, are making a documentary about deafness for ITV.

Joe, Bishop's eldest son, lost most of his hearing at the age of 15, and the programme - Joe & John Bishop: Life After Deaf - promises to "share the realities of hearing loss".

ITV say the "personal and insightful" documentary will see the pair "embark upon a journey to understand more about the Deaf community and learn British Sign Language together".

It is expected to culminate in arena-level stand-up Bishop performing a gig in British Sign Language.

He said: "Before we started this journey, we could never have imagined what an impact it would have on us as a family.

"Joe and I are so grateful to the members of the deaf community who we've met this year, their generosity has changed our lives."

The Elvis Has Left The Building Tour
John brings his unique talent for observational humour to DVD for the first time with his critically acclaimed show. Filmed in front of a packed house at the Liverpool Empire Theatre, it shows a man at the top of his game, and illustrates why he has become one of the nation's favourite comedians.

The Sunshine Tour
Filmed live at Liverpool's Echo Arena on the hugely successful tour of the same name (which saw John play to over 400,000 people in the arenas of the UK). In this show John shares anecdotes about the ways in which his life has changed because of fame, he confesses to what his kids really think of him and he explains why this is his time in the Sunshine.

Rollercoaster Tour
At the end of the Sunshine Tour, John Bishop decided to take some time off the road. However, his family concluded life was better when he was out of the house and so Bishop spent a year jumping out of aeroplanes, visiting Downing Street and taking male grooming to the extreme. Delivered in Bish's signature laid back style in front of a packed out Manchester Arena, the multi-award winning stand up phenomenon is back to tell you all about his Rollercoaster year.

Supersonic Live
John Bishop's back! After taking time out to write his autobiography, John limbered up again for his third sell-out national Arena tour, ending with a special one-off show at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall. This latest comedy caper by the immensely talented John Bishop was described as "the funniest two hours you'll have anywhere, anytime soon" by The Daily Mirror.
