John Bishop: Work in Progress
In October 2000, John Bishop stepped onto the stage at the Frog and Bucket Comedy Club in Manchester to perform for the first time, to just a handful of people – and that night his life changed forever.
Fast forward 25 years and John is now one of the biggest names in comedy. To celebrate this landmark quarter of a century making people laugh, John embarks on his ’25’ UK and Ireland arena tour this autumn, with an intimate run of ‘work in progress’ shows during August.
