Event Details

On 2 October 2000, John Bishop stepped onto the stage 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 said: “I can't believe that next year it will be 25 years since I first performed 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.”

John will be visiting first direct bank arena on 11 October, 2025 for what will be a night of laugh out loud comedy.

*All UK tickets: £25 + fees
