Who will be supporting John Bishop in 2025?

Given the nature of Bishop’s previous UK tours and shows, it’s unlikely that he will have an opening act. However, this isn’t to say that Bishop hasn’t had a few long-term collaborations with fellow comedians, presenters, and actors over the years.

In 2010, Bishop appeared in series 3 and 4 of Skins as Katie and Emily Fitch’s father. He also had a role in Ken Loach's Route Irish, which premiered with great success at the Cannes Film Festival.

His breakthrough success came when he became a regular panellist on A League of Their Own, securing consistent UK screen time and gaining a wider audience.

Bishop will be touring the UK and Ireland throughout October and November 2025. On Instagram, he released his full set of 16 dates, which stretch from Thursday 2nd October to Saturday 1st November.

What was John Bishop's last tour?

In November 2023, Bishop announced his Back At It! UK tour. His first show will take place on 9th March 2024 and will run until March 2025. It seems Bishop will only have a few months off from the touring life before returning to celebrate his incredible 25-year career in Plymouth at the Pavilions.

Known for his light-hearted, familial comedic style, Bishop’s performances combine autobiographical anecdotes with observational humour, making him a favourite among fans.
