John Bishop is one of those blokes you could spend hours with over a few bevvies down the pub.
Gordon Barr, Newcastle Chronicle, 20th November 2014Review: John Bishop
He warms to an audience and treats you like a trusted friend. He doesn't try and educate an like many modern comics whose shows feel closer to a sermon at times.

John Bishop was awarded the Comedian of the Year title at the GQ Men of the Year Awards.
Georgia Morgan, Liverpool Echo, 2nd September 2014Stewart Lee's Alternative Comedy Experience offers 25 minutes of understated joy over on Comedy Central. Now three episodes into its second series, it's a grottier, grimier Live At The Apollo, without the necessary blockbuster blandness of John Bishop or Michael McIntyre.
Lee talks to comedians about their comedy - more interesting than it sounds, because of the calibre of people involved - which is then interspersed with short excerpts from stand-up sets, filmed at Edinburgh's tiny pub-like venue The Stand, giving it a brilliantly raucous, ramshackle feel.
Tuesday's episode saw Susan Calman, Josie Long, Kevin Eldon and David O'Doherty performing, with O'Doherty - a particular delight. If you've ever wondered how someone can do witty nostalgia about long-dead technology without sounding like a Buzzfeed list, then track O'Doherty's set down as a matter of urgency.
